Supplementary Files of Technopreneurship and Climate Finance in Global Governance: A Discourse and Systems Analysis of COPs

This dataset and manuscript examine the evolution of global climate governance through a discourse and systems analysis of Conference of the Parties (COP) negotiations from 1995 to 2024. The study investigates how discursive patterns, institutional layering, and actor configurations shape opportunities and constraints for technopreneurship and climate finance. Using a multi-method design—regular expression (regex)–based thematic coding, frequency analysis, Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)—the research identifies persistent systemic distortions, including market-technocratic dominance, procedural asymmetries, and limited access for entrepreneurs and SMEs. The results highlight dualities between procedural optimism and structural contestation, and propose corrective pathways centred on co-design, equity-based safeguards, adaptive monitoring, interoperability, and ecological thresholds. By linking COP texts to entrepreneurial ecosystems and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, and 17), the study provides both academic insight and managerial implications, emphasising the need for transformative governance strategies that embed transparency, equity, and innovation.
