This briefing is for investors interested in learning about multilateral policy developments relevant for responsible investment, key related events and opportunities for engagement. 

Multilateral policies can either accelerate or hinder responsible investment at the international, regional and national levels. Well-designed multilateral policies support responsible investment by addressing systemic or system-level risks, creating new investment opportunities, and reducing the regulatory burden on investors. The PRI encourages its signatories to learn more about the role of multilateral policy in advancing responsible investment and to engage in multilateral policy processes through its Global Policy team.

This investor briefing explains why multilateral policy matters for responsible investment and spotlights five key multilateral events that have taken or will take place in 2026:

  • The selection of the next UN Secretary-General
  • The UN FFD Forum and SDG Investment Fair
  • UN CBD COP17 in Yerevan
  • UNFCCC COP31 in Antalya
  • The UN Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva

It outlines the PRI’s multilateral policy engagement priorities and the opportunities available for signatories to get involved in shaping these processes.
