COP30 is approaching. Here are five key developments businesses should watch. • Private capital will face increasing pressure to align with emerging financial mechanisms to achieve the new climate finance goal of USD 300 billion annually for developing countries by 2035. Companies that fail to adapt risk being locked out of key markets. • Policy uncertainty is rising. Only 21 out of 196 countries have updated their climate plans. Businesses must be ready to navigate a fragmented and fast-moving regulatory environment. • Brazil is driving a stronger climate-biodiversity agenda. Due diligence will be critical both reputationally and operationally in projects tied to carbon credits or forest preservation. • The US is the elephant not in the room. While several US states are reinforcing their climate commitments and will send delegates to Belém alongside US businesses, the federal government will be notably absent. • As the US steps back, China steps in. China’s latest climate pledges announced by Xi Jinping in April cover all economic sectors and all major greenhouse gases. This is more ambitious than most expected. COP30 is not just a climate summit. It is a strategic moment. For businesses, the message is clear: do not wait for global alignment.
