This report is the first of its kind. Developed in collaboration with Sweden’s non-negotiating delegation to COP30, it brings together perspectives from leading companies, government agencies, academia, and civil society to present both Sweden’s transition needs and its wide range of sector-by-sector solutions and enabling tools. For the first time, a non-negotiating delegation has co-authored such a document, combining robust science and years of COP experience with innovation, financial instruments, policy learning, and capacity building.
The report outlines how countries can strengthen and future-proof their economies by clarifying climate and economic challenges, improving their ability to procure the right solutions and finance, and matching these with proven technologies and enabling conditions. By turning Sweden’s climate strengths into a clear global offer of collaboration, it provides a pathway for countries to make their NDCs not only actionable but truly investable.
Representing all sectors, the participating companies have set ambitious climate commitments and offer scalable solutions to support global transformation across both mitigation and adaptation. However, deployment of these solutions is often constrained by insufficient and outdated climate and trade policies and frameworks, which slow the implementation of NDCs and NAP.
In response, these actors, together with public and private partners across sectors and borders, are preparing for yet another COP to actively advocate for bold NDCs, long-term targets, predictable frameworks, global standards, procurement criteria, and other incentives and enabling conditions that drive investment in climate-smart solutions and accelerate deployment aligned with the Paris Agreement.
The time is now. The race is on.
Together, let’s bridge the implementation gaps.
Sweden – The climate matchmaker
