In the week before COP31, the annual platform for negotiating and advancing global action on climate change, this event will reflect on the state of national transition planning in 2026. Meeting national climate targets increasingly depends on mobilising private capital and translating these ambitions into commitments and policies that the private sector, including investors, can act on. Building on their economy-wide targets and climate laws, many countries have initiated sectoral transition planning to guide corporate decarbonisation and attract transition finance. This is a key finding of our State of the Sovereign Transition 2026 report (to be published on 3 November).
In this event, we will
highlight common gaps and emerging best practices in climate policymaking by drawing on the latest data from the ASCOR (
Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks) tool. Panellists, representing
investor, multinational development bank and government perspectives, will share insights on
transition planning at the sectoral level and discuss the
novel financial instruments that sovereigns are leveraging to raise transition finance.
Speakers:
- Marjan Divjak: Director General of the Treasury Directorate at Slovenia's Ministry of Finance
- Jana Harvey: Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager on the Emerging Markets Team at RBC BlueBay
- Maya Hennerkes: Managing Director, Environment and Sustainability at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
- Setenay Hizliok: Project Lead at the TPI Centre, LSE
- Carmen Nuzzo: Professor in Practice and Executive Director at the TPI Centre, LSE
We look forward to your active participation in the discussion.
