Podcast: How UNDP is Mobilizing Sustainable Finance at COP30

12 NOVEMBER, 2025

As COP30 unfolds in Belém, Brazil, attention is shifting from commitments to implementation — how countries, investors and development institutions can turn climate and development goals into investable plans that deliver real impact.

In this new episode of the Trade Treasury Payments podcast, Tom Beloe, Director of UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub, speaks with Carter Hoffman, TTP’s Trade and Technology Editor, about how UNDP is helping countries reform financial systems to align public and private capital with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The conversation explores the growing momentum to make Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) investable, the importance of the Baku to Belém Roadmap, and how the Sevilla Platform for Action is helping translate commitments into credible financing strategies. Discussion also touched upon how UNDP is supporting governments to mobilize private capital, scale green finance and embed sustainability into fiscal policy and investment decisions.
