💸 How can we make sure climate finance goes to those who need it most, especially low-income countries? 👉 At the @g20org Sustainable Finance Working Group in Cape Town, #FiCS stepped in with answers. 🎙️ Our Senior Advisor @APataud joined @bbuchner13 to present a powerful new report, co-led with @climatepolicy and @AfDB_Group on how Public Development Banks can team up with Vertical Climate and Environmental Funds (#VCEFs), Multilateral Development Banks (#MDBs), and National Development Banks (#NDBs) to scale impact. The report lays out some solutions: ✅ Stronger country platforms with support, preparation, and reforms ✅ Fewer information gaps and more consistent standards ✅ Better access to climate finance for local actors 🌍 The report was welcomed by G20 members, but we’re not stopping here. 📅 Next step: Join us in Seville on July 2 at 10:30 AM, at the #FfD4 for the side event: “Scaling Up Sustainable Development Financing: A Coherent Public Development Banks System” Thank you to the G20 South Africa presidency for their trust, and to @UNDP for convening and facilitating the discussions. #FinanceInCommon #G20 #ClimateFinance #PDBs #SustainableFinance
