Programme

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.

As part of the roundtable, we will discuss how to support countries in incorporating circular solutions into their NDCs, what is required from different stakeholders to facilitate the much-needed transformation, and how this will enable us to reduce the risk of overshooting the other 8 planetary boundaries as well. How can this also be an important part of the final negotiating text?  

Why should circularity principles be integrated into energy systems, and how can this be achieved?Two best practices examples from the energy sector.

This half-day summit, convened by Business Sweden and leading Swedish companies, aims to spotlight the transformation of agrifood systems through innovation, collaboration, and human-centered solutions. The event will feature exclusive sessions, high-level stakeholder engagement, and a showcase of scalable solutions across the agrifood value chain. It will also highlight the human cost of inaction and the urgency of building resilience in food systems.
