Welcome to the second episode in our three-part COP30 podcast series, where we move beyond headlines to ask what this “COP of implementation” really means on the ground.

In this episode, Samay Shah, Daniel Mewton, and Aaron Wu explore how COP30’s decisions are beginning to flow from negotiation rooms into project pipelines. They unpack why COP30 is being called the “COP of implementation”, and what that means for energy and infrastructure projects, while also delving into the global mutirão decision, the push to triple adaptation finance, and the growing role of trade measures, sustainable fuels, and just transition principles.

Join us as we discuss how these developments might reshape investment strategies, project pipelines, and risk management across sectors: from oil and gas and renewables to data centres, grids, and critical minerals.
