Capital markets have a critical role to play in mobilizing the scale of finance needed to build resilience and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, inclusive economy. In a context marked by intersecting crises, forward-looking financial actors are reimagining alliances, governance norms, and the integration of risk and opportunity to align long-term value creation with environmental and social imperatives. How can capital markets be mobilized more effectively to drive systemic resilience and sustainable growth? What shifts in governance, transparency, and investor behavior are needed to build trust and accountability? And how can the architecture of capital markets evolve to better support a sustainable finance ecosystem fit for the challenges of tomorrow?
