Join the Smart Prosperity Institute for a special virtual event:
From concepts to practice: New frontiers in Canadian sustainable finance
Date: Friday, April 10, 2026
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm EDT
Location: Virtual – Register here
On April 10, join our Sustainable Finance Policy and Practice team for a frank discussion on climate transition planning, blended finance and nature-related financial disclosures. These innovative approaches have been gaining attention in Canada but need more rigorous research and clearer policy framing to move from concept to practice.
This webinar highlights SPI’s foundational research on these topics, showing how international approaches can work in Canada’s policy, market and institutional context. Grab your lunch and tune in for key insights, findings and practical takeaways from:
- Climate-related Transition Planning and Plans in Canada: Exploring Concepts, Contexts and Challenges
- Bridging the Finance Gap: The Role of Blended Finance in Building a Climate-resilient Economy
- The Case for Nature-related Financial Disclosures in Canada (forthcoming)
Hosted by SPI’s Director of Policy and Research, Dr. Ollie Kaiser, this virtual conversation with Anik Islam and Caelan Welch is designed for policymakers, researchers and professionals looking to better understand these important and timely topics. A Q&A session will follow the main discussion.
Registrants will receive a one-page summary of each report in advance of the event.
