IPE Global at COP30

We are Committed to Echoing the Voice of the Global South

Collaboration lies at the heart of building a sustainable future. Platforms like the Conference of Parties (COP) bring together diverse stakeholders to accelerate climate action and create lasting impact for people and the planet. As a leading international development sector, we recognise that meaningful progress depends on shared responsibility and cross-sector partnerships.

At COP30, we emphasised the importance of implementing scalable, inclusive, and locally driven solutions that foster sustainable growth, particularly in emerging economies in the Global South.
