Programme

To define and align how fossil-free value chains deliver both climate impact and business value—through collaboration, shared metrics, and demand-signals.  

Highlight how the private sector is driving the circular and resilient transformation of cities — turning climate ambition into growth and competitiveness. 

As NDC 3.0 takes shape following the first Global Stocktake, attention must shift from ambition to implementation and investment. 

Turning national commitments into financed transitions requires more than policy ambition. It demands an architecture that connects data, governance, and capital. Building on the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake and the emerging NDC 3.0 agenda, this roundtable conversation brings together governments, financiers, international organizations and networks, and solution providers to share insights and co-develop the practical building blocks of investable NDCs.

As renewable energy adoption accelerates and demand begins to increase, grid infrastructure is under growing pressure. 

This dialogue brings together religious leaders and the business community to explore how values, ethics, and belief systems can inspire greater ambition in the green transition.

SKF’s session at COP30 spotlights how sustainability, efficiency, competitiveness, and resilience are interconnected—not competing—goals. 

This session explores the intersection of energy and AI, highlighting how data centers are reshaping global energy demand. 

Export credits can be used in both emerging and developed markets to crowd in private capital, underpinned by a robust environment and social due diligence. In this session, we will explore practical examples of how export credits can be used to make climate finance more accessible. We will also hear how export credit agencies from several countries are collaborating to align trade finance with climate goals through the Net Zero Export Credit Agency Alliance.

Making decarbonization happen in a cost-efficient way for our industry. Now is the time for industrial companies to capture the potential of waste heat recovery.

In alignment with the COP30 presidency’s emphasis on practical implementation, this panel will showcase key milestones in hydrogen-powered gas turbine technology in Brazil and Sweden that demonstrate real-world progress and lay the groundwork for global replication and scaling of hydrogen solutions.    

This session explores how modern grid infrastructure becomes the backbone of industrial competitiveness and climate action. Industry leaders, technology pioneers and investors discuss how AI-driven orchestration, large-scale energy storage, and advanced grid technologies create the foundation for reliable, flexible power systems that can handle the complexities of renewable integration while maintaining industrial-grade reliability.

A growing number of economies and companies are proving that prosperity and emissions can move in opposite directions. “Crocodile Economics” explores how this decoupling is reshaping the fundamentals of growth, trade, and investment — and what policies, technologies, and business models are accelerating the transition worldwide.

Join the Swedish Export Credit Agency, EKN, the Swedish International Development Cooperation, Sida, and the Swedish Trade and Invest Council, Business Sweden as they share and discuss insights from joint projects, specifically within railway development in Africa, where blended financing—combining export credits, development cooperation, and strategic partnerships—has enabled impactful infrastructure development. 

This dialogue will bring together negotiators, business representatives, civil society organisations and the UNFCCC secretariat to explore what is required for transformational adaptation.

This session explores how industrial electrification is reshaping energy systems, and what technologies, policies, and partnerships are needed to ensure grids can deliver reliable, clean power at scale.

This roundtable will bring together civil society, businesses, policymakers, and community organisations to explore goal conflicts in forestry and land use, and identify inclusive solutions. Participants to share perspectives on climate, human rights, biodiversity, and business interests to shape policy and practice.

Effective multilevel governance depends on using shared data structures to steer climate action. When in place, this transforms static reporting into an operational architecture for data-gathering,  planning, financing, and implementation.
