Session One: Climate Finance Action Gaps By some estimates, developing countries and emerging markets require $1.8 trillion in climate finance every year, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals calls for another $1.2 trillion per year on top of that. Yet total global climate finance was only around $1 trillion in 2022, and most of that went to developed countries. Closing such a massive gap calls for more than just marginal changes; it requires a fundamental rethinking of how development and climate finance is done, and in how international financial institutions operate. | |

Session Two: LATAM Leadership Latin America has a key role to play in realizing the energy transition. It combines elements such as territory, natural resources, stability, clean energy potential, human resources and industrial base that set it apart from other regions in the world. It is also suffering some of the worst impacts of climate change. With COP16 upcoming in Colombia and Brazil hosting 2023’s G20 Summit and 2024’s COP30, now is the moment for leadership in enacting and supporting a regional collaboration that enable progress on the green transition locally and regionally, rebuffing old power dynamics to ensure the benefits of this progress stays close to home, supporting development, reducing inequalities and demonstrating international cooperation against a backdrop of wider geopolitical uncertainty. | |
