The Imperative for a Global "Mutirão"
In the lead-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil, a pivotal series of investor roundtables was convened by GSG Impact and Aliança pelo Impacto, in collaboration with the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI). This initiative aimed to forge actionable pathways for mobilizing private capital towards Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs). The discussions were framed by the urgent need to scale financial flows to USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035 as part of the "Baku to Belém Roadmap" and to translate the ambitious climate goals of the Paris Agreement into tangible investments.
The roundtables underscored a central theme articulated by the COP30 High-Level Climate Champion, Dan Ioschpe: Brazil, as a “global solutions provider,” offers a snapshot of significant investment opportunities that can serve as a blueprint for other EMDEs. Moving beyond abstract multilateral conversations, this initiative focused on exploring practical solutions to drive concrete investments at scale into pipelines that connect climate ambition with sustainable socioeconomic development. Echoing the Brazilian Presidency’s call for a mutirão — a global joint effort — the dialogues sought to engage the intellectual and financial capital of the investment community to address systemic barriers and unlock the “outstanding opportunities of our time,” as emphasized by the High-Level Champion.
These documents capture key insights from discussions that brought together global asset managers, asset owners, development banks, and policymakers to identify the main barriers and breakthrough actions needed to scale investment in Climate Mitigation, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and the Bioeconomy, as well as Adaptation and Resilience (A&R).
