Six connected objectives
Position Lagos as a credible destination for climate finance, sustainable infrastructure and climate-related investment on the global stage.
Advance the State-Determined Contributions Framework by connecting climate priorities to projects and concrete financing pathways.
Mobilise capital and technical support through engagement with DFIs, banks, investors, technology providers and climate funds.
Showcase investment opportunities across clean energy, circular economy, resilient infrastructure, agriculture, forestry and carbon markets.
Develop partnerships that can support project preparation, financing, technology deployment and implementation across Lagos's priority programmes.
Create measurable post-COP outcomes: investor follow-ups, project assessments, expressions of interest and agreed next steps — not just meetings.
Five days. Six objectives. One city.
Every session is designed to move Lagos's climate investment proposition forward — from dialogue to deal flow, from pipeline to commitments.
Lagos engages the Under2 Coalition and subnational governments on climate implementation, investment and cooperation. Connects the SDC Framework with the role states play in mobilising capital and developing investment-ready projects. Opportunities include engagement on electrification financing, project bankability workshops, and a high-level governors and ministers panel (4–6 pm).
High-level investment dialogue in collaboration with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and International Finance Corporation (IFC). Convenes climate organisations, DFIs, investors and corporates around financing Lagos's climate investment pipeline — blended finance, commercial lending, catalytic capital, and the role of DFIs in project preparation and delivery.
Curated closed session with banks, financiers and project stakeholders. Focus: project readiness, financing structures, SDC alignment and risk/verification frameworks. Goal: move from general interest to specific financing mechanisms and defined next steps.
Continuation of curated investor engagement from Day 2. Pre-scheduled bilaterals prioritising projects with a clear investment proposition and identified financing or technical requirements — DFIs, financial institutions, technology providers and strategic partners.
Time TBC

From positioning to investment mobilisation
OCCE is using COP31 to advance Lagos State's climate agenda from international positioning towards investment mobilisation, project development, strategic partnerships and implementation. Five structured days connecting Lagos's project pipeline to the capital and partners that can advance it.
The central proposition: Lagos is working to translate an indicative US$25–50 billion climate investment opportunity across 300+ projects into bankable, investable propositions — and COP31 is the platform to connect those projects with the institutions, capital and technical partners that can accelerate delivery.
The programme culminates in the Lagos Climate Investment Day & Cocktail Reception at the Nigerian Pavilion on Friday 13 November — the flagship high-level event, with the Governor's participation subject to formal confirmation.
