Future Sustainability Forum 2026

The Future Sustainability Forum is DIFC's dedicated platform on where finance meets sustainability. Held as one of the signature forums of Dubai Future Finance Week (2-6 November 2026), it gathers financial institutions, investors, policymakers and corporate sustainability leaders under the theme "Shaping Greener Economies" to work out how capital, regulation and technology can move the transition from pledges to measurable results.

What's covered

The programme is built around five sustainability and finance pillars, delivered through keynotes, fireside chats, panels and moderated roundtables on a single conference stage.

• Green and transition finance, including green sukuk and sustainability-linked lending
• ESG integration and reporting standards such as ISSB, GRI and TCFD
• Sustainable investment strategies and impact investing
• Climate risk, data and FinTech: AI analytics, carbon tracking and carbon markets
• Policy, regulation and public-private partnerships aligned with UAE Net Zero 2050

Who attends

The forum targets C-suite leaders, sustainability implementers, investors, regulators and policymakers. Complimentary delegate places are reserved for qualified institutional attendees and are approved by a steering committee; solution providers and advisory firms take part through paid passes or sponsorship.
