COP30 side event - Investing in sovereign climate action: Outlook from COP30

The COP30 side event highlighted key findings from the State of the Sovereign Transition 2025 report alongside the release of our latest sovereign assessment data for 85 countries on the Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR) tool. The analysis and assessments are conducted by the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Following a presentation on the latest developments in sovereign climate action, with a focus on Korea and its regional peers, panellists discussed the policies and governance structures needed to make Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) investable and accelerate transition finance flows. They also reflected on the ongoing COP30 negotiations and how they may shape the next decade of investment opportunities.

We hope you find the presentation and the discussion insightful. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our speakers for sharing their expertise and insights and the Korean Pavilion for hosting us for the side event.
