This Reuters Editors Briefing explores how climate finance is being reshaped by political scrutiny, investor scepticism, regulatory change, and growing pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes. Drawing on Reuters reporting from global financial centres, the discussion examines the retreat from some ESG commitments, the evolving role of sustainable investing, shifting disclosure requirements, emerging-market financing challenges, and how investors are reassessing climate risk and opportunity in a more polarized environment. Throughout the session, Reuters journalists will offer insight into how they evaluate corporate climate claims, scrutinize financial disclosures, separate rhetoric from results, and identify the signals shaping the future of sustainable finance and long-term capital allocation.
