Webinar alert: "Investing in sovereign climate action: Outlook from COP30"

15/10/2025

Join us for the upcoming webinar, “Investing in sovereign climate action: Outlook from COP30”, live from the COP30 Korea Pavilion in Belem, Brazil

This COP30 side event will focus on 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 (LSE). 

Following a presentation on the latest developments in sovereign climate action, with a focus on Korea and its regional peers, panellists will explore the policies and governance structures needed to make Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) investable and accelerate transition finance flows. They will also reflect on the ongoing COP30 negotiations and how they may shape the next decade of investment opportunities.
 
Insights from our academic research, combined with practitioners' perspectives, will foster an open dialogue among decision makers driving the low-carbon transition.
