Abstract
At COP26 in Glasgow, the Climate Investment Coalition (CIC) supported the mobilisation and announcement of a collective Nordic and UK pension fund commitment of US$130 billion. This notable announcement was made by 41 pension funds and announced by Nordic Heads of State and Government and CEOs of Nordic and UK pension funds. The commitments are to be invested in clean energy and climate solutions by 2030 and reported on annually. The Nordic region countries are global frontrunners in climate and sustainable finance, as well as in public-private collaboration and its use to successfully accelerate the green transition. In continuation of the commitment made at COP26, and with support from the Nordic Council of Ministers working group for Climate and Air (NKL), CIC has had a specific focus on mobilising investments in emerging markets and developing economies.
