Following the success of our inaugural Gulf Transition & Sustainable Finance event in Abu Dhabi last year, Environmental Finance is pleased to announce the second edition of this influential forum, will take place in Dubai on 28 April 2026.

The 2025 event marked the UAE debut of our Sustainable Debt series, which has previously been held in global financial hubs including London, New York, and Singapore. With over 300 senior delegates from corporations, investors, banks, fund managers, government entities, SPOs and other sustainable finance professionals from across and outside the region, this event offers a focused platform for knowledge-sharing, discussion, hands-on learning and actionable insights.

This year's programme features a dynamic mix of keynote speeches, tightly focused panel discussions, on-stage interviews, and new interactive deep-dive roundtable discussions.

Topics range from regional market developments and Islamic finance to more specific themes such as investor insights on asset allocation, fund structures and the growth in private credit, the role of sovereign wealth funds in driving sustainable investment, case studies on recent issuances in the region, and more.

Sustainable Fitch is a proud sponsor of the event. Craig Gosnell, Global Business Head ESG/Sustainable Finance, Fitch Ratings will participate in the panel at 11:30AM GST: Panel: Labelled transition debt: Gulf potential and regulatory policy catalysts
