SB COP Awards Atlas
Initial screening of SB COP Awards 2026 submissions, as of 15 October 2026 · industries, impact, regions and synergies
— initiatives from — countries went through screening. Brazil and Türkiye hold — of them, so the map is a two-hub story with a thin spread elsewhere.

Value chains
Ten value chains. Open a chain with the arrow to see initiatives at each step. Click a bar to filter every page.
Regions and Action Agenda pillars
Initiatives per region and pillar as submitted. Click a column to filter by pillar.
Reported impact
Only the 2026 form asks for numbers. A few coalition-level claims dominate the totals, so the card shows medians by value-chain family.
Impact focus by Action Agenda pillar
Share of initiatives whose title or objective mention a focus in each pillar. Open a pillar to see the detailed focus areas. Click a bar to filter every page.
Maturity
Stage as declared. The Türkiye and Action Bank cases do not record a stage.
Coverage of each value chain
Initiatives at each step of each chain. A cell marked gap has no initiative yet. Click a chain or a cell to open its flow below.
Value-chain flow
Columns are the steps of the chain. Blocks are initiatives by region. Bands are supply-chain links between neighbouring steps, and the dashed band underneath returns recycled material to an earlier step. Click a block or a band to see the initiatives.
Links between chains
Where an output of one chain feeds another, for example renewable power into green hydrogen or food waste into biomethane. Click a bar to list the pairs in the panel above.
Who is served, and with which levers
Initiatives by group served and lever. A cell marked gap has no initiative. Click a group to explore it below, or a cell to see pairs that use that lever.
Lever combinations
—
Pairs by lever combination. Circles are levers sized by initiatives, lines are complementary pairs. Click a line, a circle or a bar.
Connection map
Each dot is one initiative, placed around its hub and coloured by region. Lines between hubs show how many synergy pairs link them. Click a hub or a dot to explore it.
— synergy pairs link — Brazilian and — Türkiye initiatives. The densest overlap is in —, a ready agenda for a COP30 to COP31 handover.
Shared value chains
Initiatives in each country by value chain, and Brazil ↔ Türkiye links in that chain. Open a chain with the arrow to see its steps, or click a row to filter every page.
Strongest bridge pairs
Brazilian initiatives on the left, Türkiye on the right, ordered by value-chain step. Line width shows link strength. Hover a line for the reason, click a line or a name to compare.
Bridge pairs
Every Brazil ↔ Türkiye pair for the current filters. Click a row to compare both initiatives.

How this atlas works
A plain-language guide to where the data comes from, how each initiative was classified and how links between initiatives are found.
- Collect. The atlas uses the SB COP Awards 2026 screening database: submissions to the 2025 and 2026 forms, CEBDS Brasil de Soluções cases, WBCSD Türkiye cases and the WBCSD Business Action Bank. Names, emails and phone numbers are left out.
- Screen. Each initiative carries the Go or No-Go result of the initial screening against the five SB COP criteria: scalability, short and medium-term impact, economic impact, innovation and alignment with the Action Agenda.
- Classify. An AI model read the title and description of every initiative and gave it four tags from fixed lists: the value chain and the step where it works, the levers it uses, the groups it serves, and the products involved. It also flagged whether the initiative closes a material loop (circular). Each tag set carries a confidence level.
- Link. Simple rules then turn the tags into two kinds of link: value-chain links, where one initiative can supply another, and complementary impact, where two initiatives serve the same group in different ways.
- Rank. Each link gets a score from 0 to 1, so the strongest candidates show first. The score ranks leads: it does not prove that two organisations can or want to work together.
Value-chain links
- Supply-chain link. Two initiatives sit at neighbouring steps of the same chain, for example step 2 (refining) and step 3 (battery cells). The upstream one can supply the downstream one.
- Circular loop. In chains with a recycling step, a link from the last step back to an earlier step, when at least one side recycles or recovers material. The flow diagram shows it as a dashed band under the chain.
- Cross-chain link. An output of one chain that feeds another, for example renewable power into green hydrogen, or food waste into biomethane.
- Who qualifies. Only initiatives that deploy a technology or trade a product (technology or market access levers) form these links, because a link means something physical can move between them.
- Relevance check. The two must share a product (for example both name PET, or both name solar) or describe similar work.
- Score. Half comes from being at neighbouring steps, a quarter from shared products, the rest from similar wording and from being in the same country or in Brazil and Türkiye.
- Kept. Up to three upstream and three downstream partners per initiative, plus up to two loop and two cross-chain partners, and the best Brazil ↔ Türkiye matches.
Complementary impact
- Same group. Both initiatives serve the same group, for example smallholders or women.
- Different levers. Their main levers differ and reinforce each other, for example finance plus skills. The table below sets which combinations count as strong or medium.
- Same context. They work in the same country or in the same value chain, so they could realistically combine.
- Score. Two fifths come from how strong the lever combination is, a quarter from the shared context, a fifth from serving more than one group in common, and the rest from shared products or similar wording.
- Kept. Up to four partners per initiative, plus the best Brazil ↔ Türkiye match.
The ten value chains and their steps
Steps run from raw materials to end of life. ↺ marks chains where recycling returns material to an earlier step.

Good to know
- Check before outreach. AI tags can be wrong, above all for short or vague descriptions. Treat every link as a lead and read both initiatives before contacting anyone [REVIEW].
- Impact numbers. Only the 2026 form asks for emissions, jobs and cost. A few coalition-level claims dominate the totals, so the atlas shows medians.
- Other tags. Impact focus and objective clusters come from keyword matching of titles and objectives. The value-chain filter uses the AI tags.
- Countries. Initiatives marked global or multi-country are not placed on the map. The country links on the map count every candidate link that passes the rules, not only each initiative's strongest partners, so any two countries can be compared.

Value chains, steps, levers and groups served were tagged by AI from titles and descriptions; impact focus and objective clusters come from keyword matching. Links follow the rules in the Methodology and are leads to check [REVIEW].
