Looking Ahead: COP as a Starting Point

As banners came down and delegates returned home, the work ahead became clearer. COP30 provided momentum, but integrating SGBs into climate frameworks will require sustained advocacy and collaboration throughout the year.

ANDE will continue to ensure that SGBs remain visible and influential across global forums, national climate plans, supply chain commitments, and climate finance negotiations. We will build on the SME Climate Hub campaign, deepen support for local accelerators and ESOs, and strengthen the case for entrepreneur-led climate action.

Small and growing businesses are already contributing to climate solutions. They are architects of climate resilience, capable of shaping markets and strengthening communities. ANDE’s role is to ensure their voices and innovations guide the path forward—at COP and throughout the year.
