COP30 Highlights: The Coalition of Finance Ministers at the Forefront of Climate Action

November 24, 2025

At COP30, the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action showcased how finance ministries are driving the shift from climate pledges to implementation.Through high-level events and strategic dialogues, the Coalition emphasized the critical role of fiscal and economic policy in delivering Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), mobilizing $1.3 trillion annually for emerging markets, and integrating climate goals into macroeconomic and fiscal frameworks. Key discussions spotlighted innovative tools—such as green budgeting, carbon pricing, and risk management—and launched new initiatives to strengthen collaboration between finance ministries and central banks. These engagements reaffirm the Coalition’s commitment to enabling resilient and inclusive growth, and positioning finance ministries as leaders in the global climate transition.

Watch the video summary:

The role of finance ministries in driving climate implementation and investment is gaining unprecedented attention. Recent important reports, including the COP30 Circle of Finance Ministers report and the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap, as well as the newly released Independent High-Level Expert Group (IHLEG) report on Climate Finance, all converge on one message: finance ministries are central to delivering climate commitments and enabling a just transition.

The role of finance ministries in implementing climate action reflects a fundamental shift in the global policy architecture. This is not limited to macro-fiscal management; it also encompasses the design of financial systems, the mobilization of private capital on a large scale, and the creation of enabling environments for sustainable economic growth. Adaptation finance, integration of climate risk into fiscal frameworks, and deployment of technology-driven solutions, including AI for modeling and analytics, are emerging as core priorities for the decade ahead.

The Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action is well-positioned to help shape this transformation. Through structured dialogues, joint initiatives, and technical platforms, the Coalition supports its 100 member ministries in translating global commitments into actionable strategies. Our workstreams, focused on adaptation, NDC implementation, carbon pricing, climate finance, and mainstreaming climate considerations into economic policies, align directly with the priorities set out in the COP30 Circle Report, the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap, and the IHLEG Finance Report. By advancing taxonomy interoperability, enhancing capacity for climate-informed fiscal planning, and fostering mechanisms to attract private investment, the Coalition ensures that Finance Ministries are equipped to lead systemic change.

High-Level Event: "Implementing NDCs: How Finance Ministries Can Integrate Climate Goals into Economic Strategy" 

The Coalition's flagship event with Brazil’s Finance Ministry and the COP30 Presidency highlighted the pivotal role of Finance Ministries in delivering NDCs. The discussion underscored the growing importance of Finance Ministries in driving and accelerating climate action, with broad agreement that effective National Determined Contributions (NDCs) implementation hinges on strong macro-fiscal leadership.

  • Egypt’s Finance Minister, Mr. Ahmed Kouchouk, highlighted the importance of regulatory reforms, whole-of-government coordination, and diverse financing instruments—from blended finance to debt-for-climate swaps—in delivering Nationally Determined Contributions.  
  • Brazil’s Vice Minister of Finance, Mrs. Tatiana Rosito, emphasized the close synergies between the Circle of Finance Ministers, the CFMCA, the IHLEG report on Climate Finance, and the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap, noting that fiscal and financial policies are central to mobilizing the $1.3 trillion in annual financing needed by emerging markets and developing economies.
  • UN Special Advisor and Assistant Secretary-General, Mr. Selwin Hart, reaffirmed that updated NDCs now include clearer costing and macroeconomic analysis, reflecting deeper engagement by Finance Ministries, but stressed that ambition remains short of a 1.5°C pathway and that the coming decade must prioritize accelerated implementation—calling on ministries to align macro-fiscal frameworks, leverage MDBs, and counter climate misinformation.
  • Contributions from other countries and institutions—including the Netherlands, Uruguay, Luxembourg, Nigeria, Uganda, Denmark, CIF, WRI, and the Grantham Institute—reinforced practical lessons on fossil fuel subsidy reform, climate funds, private-sector mobilization, fiscal risk management, and the importance of strong country platforms. 

Overall, the event confirmed that climate policy is now embedded in macroeconomic strategy, with Finance Ministries playing a critical role in turning commitments into investment pipelines, resilient budgets, and economy-wide transitions.

"Inside the Economic Engine Room: Ministries of Finance and Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions" 

At the Danish Pavilion, the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action hosted an interactive session exploring how finance ministries are embedding climate into fiscal frameworks and budget processes.

Participants explored how MoFs—responsible for managing $30 trillion in public capital—are central to shaping a growth story grounded in optimism and resilience. The event highlighted practical solutions, including peer-to-peer learning, innovative modeling approaches, and new resources to support policy design.

Professor Lord Nicholas Stern introduced his open-access book "The Growth Story of the 21st Century", underscoring the role of MoFs in unlocking investment through a range of policy instruments—from carbon pricing to fiscal incentives and market reforms. His message: multiple market failures demand multiple tools, and strong analytics are essential for unlocking investment and delivering sustainable growth..

Key highlights:

  • Launch of the Coalition’s Tools Report, offering guidance for ministries to incorporate climate into fiscal frameworks.
  • Insights from countries like Denmark, and its green reform model, and Uganda, integrating climate into debt sustainability assessments.
  • Release of new reports, reinforcing the importance of collaboration and evidence-based policymaking.

The Coalition reaffirmed its commitment to help countries strengthen domestic climate action and mobilize resources for the transition.

Economic Analysis and Modeling Tools to Assist Ministries of Finance in Driving Green and Resilient Transitions - November 2025

This report provides a systematic overview of analytical tools available to ministries of finance to help address the policy climate policy questions they face and integrate climate into their economic analysis. It serves as a reference for ministries of finance and their partners that want to explore how climate-related economic policy can be analyzed and diverse tools can be used to support climate-informed decision-making. It covers 23 tools grouped into four categories, clarifies their use cases, strengths, and limitations, and provides case studies of their deployment. It also maps tools to policy questions to help ministries of finance identify those most relevant to their needs and highlights cross-cutting analytical considerations.

Through this overview, the following key messages emerge: (1) Different strategies can be used to integrate climate into analytical tools, (2) no single tool can answer all relevant questions, (3) tools can be linked or used in conjunction for more comprehensive analysis, and (4) continuous learning and development are crucial.

 

How Ministries of Finance Can Build Capabilities for Economic Analysis and Modeling to Drive Green and Resilient Transitions - October 2025

The HP4 Capabilities Report provides an overview of strategies, options, and recommendations for how ministries of finance can practically enhance their analytical capabilities to drive green and resilient transitions. Among the report’s key messages are: 

  • Capability is about more than having access to suitable tools and models. It is about being able to identify, use and maintain tools and conduct (or commission) analysis to answer relevant policy questions, communicating results (and limitations), and ensuring integration into decision-making processes.
  • Ministries of finance have different levels of analytical capabilities. These have a substantial impact on the type of analysis that could be most suitable and worth investing in, and the priorities and next steps for strengthening local capabilities. Approaches for building capabilities should be pragmatic and build on existing capabilities. It is better to ‘start simple’ and refine the analysis throughout than to wait for more expertise to arrive.
  • Ministries of finance can build or improve their capabilities over time. This typically requires: 

– Skills: Building analytical capabilities requires ensuring dedicated staffing resources with the right mix of skills for conducting or interpreting modeling and analysis are present in the ministry. 

– Collaboration: ministries of finance cannot address their capability gaps alone. They may require support from a broader analytical ecosystem, including line ministries and government agencies willing to share models, data, and experience; universities and research institutes with climate expertise; and technical assistance providers and the wider international community, which can help build expertise and improve access to tools and data. 

– Governance: Clear roles, responsibilities, and institutional structures are crucial for ensuring that climate-related economic modeling and analysis are effectively integrated into the ministry of finance’s decision-making. 

There is a strong demand for technical assistance providers to ramp up and reform existing offers and training provision to help ministries of finance develop and maintain internal capabilities. This will require working with universities, research institutions, and partners across government.

reporthp4

This report provides a systematic overview of analytical tools available to Ministries of Finance to help address these policy questions and integrate climate into their economic analysis. It serves as a reference for Ministries of Finance and their partners that want to explore how climate-related economic policy can be analyzed and diverse tools can be used to support climate-informed decision-making. For this, the report groups the available tools into four categories for readers to explore: 

 

  1. Climate-enhanced macroeconomic and sectoral models. These analyze macroeconomic, sectoral, and distributional impacts of aspects of climate change and green and resilient transitions, often building on existing models used by Ministries of Finance.
  2. Physical climate and disaster risk models and approaches. These assess climate damages and risks, informing fiscal risk management and adaptation strategies.
  3. Decision-making frameworks and other analytical tools. These include cost–benefit analysis and robust decision-making and can provide qualitative and quantitative insights that complement other approaches, particularly in contexts of uncertainty and risk.
  4. Ex-post case studies and evaluations. These assess the impacts of implemented climate policies and past transitions, providing insights into effectiveness, challenges, and lessons learned.  

 

The report covers 23 tools, clarifies their use cases, strengths, and limitations, and provides case studies of their deployment. It also maps tools to policy questions to help Ministries of Finance identify those most relevant to their needs and highlights cross-cutting analytical considerations.  

 

Through this overview, the following key messages emerge:

 

  • Different strategies can be used to integrate climate into analytical tools. Ministries of Finance can integrate climate-related factors into their existing economic models and analytical approaches or use tools specifically designed to analyze climate impacts and policies.
  • No single tool can answer all relevant questions. Different policy questions require different tools that can capture different variables and perspectives. Multiple tools and sensitivity analyses can provide complementary insights and help assess the robustness of results.
  • Tools can be linked or used in conjunction for more comprehensive analysis. The boundaries between tools are not rigid, and they can be combined to leverage their respective strengths, enabling analysis that is both more encompassing and more detailed.
  • Continuous learning and development are crucial. Mainstreaming climate in the analysis and decision-making of Ministries of Finance is an evolving process, and peer learning and collaborating with analytical ecosystems are important parts of this.
