Grateful for the opportunity to reflect with ICC leadership on the pathways that turn bold climate goals into real-world outcomes. Predictable finance, stronger public–private cooperation, and clear signals to markets are central to accelerating action across Africa and the Global South. The momentum at #COP30 continues to build. #ClimateLeadership #GreenInvestment #COP30 #ClimateFinance #Africa #Kenya #SustainableFuture

Today at the COP30 proceedings, I engaged with Andrew Wilson, Deputy Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Commerce. Our discussion centered on one of the most critical gaps in global climate action: the flow of finance. Ambitious climate targets cannot translate into meaningful outcomes without clear, predictable financial pathways, and without the confidence of the private sector to invest at scale. Strengthening these levers is essential if we are to transform commitments into tangible progress for communities, industries, and economies worldwide. #ClimateFinance #COP30 #ClimateAction #GreenInvestment #Africa #Kenya #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateLeadership

Private investment in clean energy solutions is growing at an unprecedented rate. But meeting the international community's target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 will require a significant step change in policy approaches. Speaking at a special dialogue convened by Australia during the @IEA's 2024 Ministerial Meeting, our Global Policy Director @AndrewWilsonICC stressed three business priorities to speed the energy transition: ➡️ Ensuring all governments establish joined-up domestic energy policy ecosystems -- from clear (and politically stable) targets to effective permitting systems and robust offset markets. These need to be hard-wired into national climate action plans before COP30. ➡️ Repositioning the role of multilateral development banks from risk guarantors to real catalysts of private finance through increased use of equity investments and early-stage grants. ➡️ Rethinking the impact of global macro prudential rules on clean energy investments in emerging economies. Greater balance is ultimately needed between financial stability and climate objectives -- a reflection that the G20 is ideally placed to lead.

ICC Global Policy Director Andrew Wilson sends a strong message to climate ministers on the importance of successful outcomes at #COP27. "This must be a COP that delivers on the #ParisAgreement... That means no lowering of ambition."

As we’ve repeatedly made clear to delegations this week, business needs a deal which preserves important aspects of the multilateral trading system, while setting a path for @WTO reform. The importance of this can’t be understated. That’s why @iccwbo has kept the pressure on…

Just days ago the chances of saving the @WTO’s #e-commerce moratorium seemed non-existent. That there’s now a tentative agreement to renew the moratorium owes a great deal to the tenacity and leadership of #WTODG @NOIweala.

After four days of intense negotiations, there’s now a package on the table at #MC12 that would provide a real boost to the credibility and strength of the @WTO system.

Digital tariff barriers would cause economic harm to the very countries that impose them and are simply unnecessary. Read my op-ed in @thehill/@TheHillOpinion
