As COP30 in Belém renews focus on country NDCs, Carmen Nuzzo and Antonina Scheer reflect on why the NDC updates – or the lack thereof – can send powerful signals to investors and why government should not underestimate their potential to influence borrowing costs.

This COP30 side event will highlight key findings from the State of the Sovereign Transition 2025 report and explore the policies and governance structures needed to scale up transition finance

The podcast features how the ASCOR tool assesses the credibility and ambition of NDCs and how the TPI Centre's research can help make NDCs investable.
