In São Paulo, ANDE showcased data proving climate-focused SGBs are scaling viable solutions, reinforcing calls for accessible climate finance and convening ecosystem leaders to strengthen locally grounded climate action.
Throughout COP30, ANDE shared evidence from across its network showing that climate-focused SGBs are delivering both environmental benefits and strong business results. Revenue growth, market traction, and demonstrable investment readiness underscore that many climate-aligned enterprises are viable and poised to scale—if they gain appropriate access to capital and markets.
This message reinforced ANDE’s ongoing advocacy through the SME Climate Hub and this year’s global policy letter, which urge climate finance and enabling policies that are accessible to smaller businesses. The goal is not to create parallel systems but to adapt existing mechanisms so they work for enterprises already operating in climate-critical sectors.
In São Paulo, ANDE hosted an interactive Climate Connections event. The gathering brought together more than sixty organizations and featured eight examples from both international and Brazilian ESOs. These cases highlighted the innovative, tangible climate solutions emerging across the ecosystem, and demonstrated the value of convening practitioners who are advancing climate action on the ground.
