Baku to Belém and Beyond
Strengthening the UK Investment Landscape to Support Climate Transition in EMDEs
This report focuses on the potential contribution of UK asset owners to climate finance in EMDEs. While the report’s findings and analysis are derived from the allocation trends of pension funds, insurers are an important source of investment and an audience for this report.
The report highlights what is needed within the UK investment market to support a strengthened regulatory and policy environment for EMDE climate finance in the UK. Recommendations in the report are targeted across the investment value chain including UK Government, Asset Managers, Investment Consultants, and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs). The report also functions as a contribution towards the agenda of the Baku to Belém Roadmap, released at COP30 in Belém, which aims to channel $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 into EMDEs for climate action.
