In this webinar, PRI and the Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) will present the annual IPR 2026 Transition Forecast. The Forecast is informed by input from several hundred international climate, policy and sustainable investment experts via our Climate Expert Survey, conducted with Deloitte and undertaken post COP 30 in Brazil.  

The Forecast plays a unique role for investors and policy makers in reflecting global expert & market sentiment on the expected speed and scale of the transition in the short, medium and long-term across the G20.

IPR Transition Forecast 2026: What do global climate experts think the transition will look like?

Ten years since the Paris Agreement, what is the way forward for net zero policy?

Join us for this webinar to explore the findings of the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy's COP30 report, “Policy Matters: From pledges to delivery – a decade after Paris.” 

The session will open with a keynote from Helena Viñes Fiestas, TNZP Co-Chair, who will reflect on the COP30 outcomes and their implications for policy and finance.

We will then unpack the G20 policy progress in net zero policies along four focus areas examined by the Taskforce in 2025: 

- Transition planning integrity
- Resilience-focused policies
- Carbon credit markets
- Accountability mechanisms

The workstream leads of the TNZP Secretariat will present key findings of the COP30 Policy Matters report, highlighting gaps in regulatory frameworks and outlining priority actions for policymakers to seize the benefits of high integrity policies. The presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Maximising the value of your 2025 reporting outputs

The Quarter has delivered sharp policy signals for investors: U.S. retrenchment on clean energy, China’s record-breaking renewable deployment, and mounting pressures driving climate policy responses across the G20. These shifts coincide with nations preparing their 2035 NDCs ahead of COP30 in Brazil, submissions that will underscore an increasingly divergent global landscape. 

Adding to these dynamics, the International Court of Justice issued a landmark advisory opinion in July clarifying states’ legal obligations on climate change – with significant implications for domestic regulation, international negotiations, and litigation risks affecting both governments and private actors. 

Against this backdrop, our expert panel will assess the IPR analysis of the quarter’s most consequential policy and transition developments – and their implications for investors monitoring climate risk and opportunity..

The PRI invites signatories to join drop-in and feedback sessions to learn more about the future of its emerging and expanding stewardship initiative – the Collaborative Sovereign Engagement on Climate Change.

This initiative was launched as a proof-of-concept pilot in 2022 as has been engaging in the Australian system for two years with the participation of 27 signatories from across the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

Through these sessions signatories will get further insight into:
- The practice of sovereign engagement
- The Australian engagement
- The investor experience in the initiative
- How the PRI is approaching new market selection
- How the PRI is planning to structure the expanded initiative
- When and how signatories can apply to join
