Global investment in the energy transition is entering a new phase, with capital increasingly focused on accelerating clean energy deployment, strengthening infrastructure and supporting large-scale transformation. According to the IEA’s World Energy Investment 2026, global energy investment is projected to reach USD 3.4 trillion in 2026, with clean energy expected to account for approximately USD 2.2 trillion. Rising energy demand, geopolitical uncertainty and infrastructure constraints are reshaping investment priorities, highlighting the need for stronger financing models, policy certainty and public-private collaboration.

The transition depends on mobilising capital to bring projects to market and deliver critical infrastructure at pace. From climate infrastructure funds and institutional investment to carbon markets, transition finance, project finance and innovative commercial models, investors and industry leaders are navigating new pathways to accelerate deployment, manage risk and create long-term value.

The Climate Investment Theatre will bring together financiers, utilities, developers, policymakers and technology leaders to explore opportunities across grids, industrial decarbonisation, hydrogen, nuclear and energy storage, accelerating capital flows into resilient, scalable and low-carbon infrastructure.
