As COP30 approaches, climate finance must accelerate, not only to address climate risks, but also to advance national security and economic competitiveness.
In a candid “good cop, bad cop” discussion, our speakers examine where substantive change is occurring, and whether it is driven by COP or by forces outside it.
Issues explored include:
- How are banks and capital markets reshaping their approaches to financing the energy transition?
- What steps are multilateral development banks taking to become bigger, better, and more effective in funding climate projects?
- How are market mechanisms, trade levers, and regulatory measures redefining public- and private-sector appetite for scaling climate capital?
- Given misalignments between national interests and the need for global action, is the COP process still fit for purpose?
This is the second episode in our COP30-themed podcast series, recorded on October 29 ahead of COP30, which will be held from November 10 to 21.
Speakers: David Lee (partner), Scott Neilson (partner), Tim Conduit (partner), Danae Wheeler (senior associate).
Produced by: Ying-Peng Chin (senior knowledge lawyer).
