LOCATION:London School of Economics: In-person and online public event (Ho

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 3 November 2026 6.30pm - 8pmSpeakersJana HarveyMaya He
 nnerkesSetenay HizliokMarjan DivjakChairProfessor Carmen NuzzoIn the week 
 before COP31\, the annual platform for negotiating and advancing global ac
 tion on climate change\, this event will reflect on the state of national 
 transition planning in 2026. Meeting national climate targets increasingly
  depends on mobilising private capital and translating these ambitions int
 o commitments and policies that the private sector\, including investors\,
  can act on. Building on their economy-wide targets and climate laws\, man
 y countries have initiated sectoral transition planning to guide corporate
  decarbonisation and attract transition finance. This is a key finding of 
 the TPI Centre’s State of the Sovereign Transition 2026 report.In this e
 vent\, the TPI Centre will highlight common gaps and emerging best practic
 es in climate policymaking by drawing on the latest data from the ASCOR (A
 ssessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks) tool. Panellis
 ts representing investor and government perspectives will share insights o
 n transition planning at the sectoral level and discuss the novel financia
 l instruments that sovereigns are leveraging to raise transition finance.M
