Closed-Door Masterclass

[Closed-Door Luncheon with Pak Gita Wirjawan]: The Board’s Role in Shaping Long-term Resilience

Location: TBC

Climate change is no longer solely a sustainability issue, it is increasingly shaping strategy, risk, capital allocation and long-term business value. This masterclass explores how boards can provide effective climate leadership in an increasingly complex operating environment. Through a boardroom lens, the session will examine how directors can challenge management assumptions, oversee climate and transition-related risks, strengthen organisational resilience and ensure that strategic ambitions are supported by credible implementation plans, capital allocation decisions and accountability mechanisms. The discussion will also consider the critical questions boards should ask to balance competitiveness, resilience and long-term value creation in a -carbon future.

Masterclass 1

From Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) to Action: Developing Nature Transition Plans for Financial Institutions

Location: Training Room

Financial institutions are increasingly expected to assess, manage and disclose nature and climate-related risks across their portfolios. While frameworks such as TNFD and emerging climate transition guidance provide a foundation for assessment and disclosure, many institutions continue to face challenges in translating these insights into practical transition plans, governance structures, risk management processes and financing decisions.

This masterclass will explore how TNFD-aligned assessments can inform nature transition planning, be incorporated into portfolio strategy, and how available tools can support physical risk assessment at both company and asset levels. Drawing on perspectives from TNFD, AIGCC, and financial institutions, the session will focus on practical pathways for turning risk insights into credible action plans, investment strategies and measurable
outcomes.

Structuring Bankable Nature Finance Projects: From Concept to Investment

Location: Training Room

While interest in nature finance grows, many projects struggle to progress from concepts to investment-ready opportunities. Challenges in project preparation, revenue generation, risk allocation, impact measurement and investor requirements often limit the f of capital into nature-based solutions. At the same time, projects that fail to consider community rights, local livelihoods and equitable benefit-sharing may face implementation risks that undermine long-term outcomes. This masterclass explores how project developers, governments, development finance institutions, investors and communities can work together to structure nature-based projects that are economically viable, socially inclusive and investment-ready. Through practical examples and lessons from the region, participants will gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to transform nature outcomes into bankable investment opportunities.

Tools and Frameworks for Adaptation Finance

Location: Training Room

As physical climate risks intensify, adaptation investments are becoming increasingly important. This practical workshop explores the latest tools, methodologies and frameworks used to identify, assess and finance adaptation opportunities. Participants will gain insights into emerging market practices and understand how adaptation considerations can be incorporated into financing decisions.

Masterclass 5

From Exposure to Impact: Using ENCORE 2.0 for Nature Risk and Impact Assessment in Financial Institutions

Location: Training Room

Nature-related risks are increasingly becoming a material consideration for lending, investment and portfolio management. This hands-on session introduces ENCORE 2.0 and demonstrates how financial institutions can identify dependencies and impacts on nature, assess sector-level exposures and translate nature-related insights into risk management and decision-making processes.
