The Inauguration will offer an insightful preview of the key themes and discussions in the Swedish Pavilion during the two weeks of COP31, convening key stakeholders from business, academia, civil society, and the public sector to demonstrate that scalable climate solutions across value chains are ready for deployment worldwide.

The ambition for the Inauguration of the Swedish Pavillion is to mirror the vision of our COP31 engagement and actively advocate for bold NDCs, long-term targets, predictable frameworks, global standards, procurement criteria, and other incentives and enabling conditions that drive investment in climate-smart solutions and accelerate deployment aligned with the Paris Agreement.
