The Bridgetown Initiative 3.0 calls on the world to recognise that the rules of the game must change, we must shock proof economies and we must commit to dramatically increase financing. It is time to act in solidarity for people and planet.

Our partnership with SIDS has many facets – new programs include technical cooperation to strengthen ocean governance for resilience, the creation of the first online repository for cultural heritage (pilot in 🇹🇻) and our contribution to the SIDS Centre of Excellence in 🇦🇬. 5/5

We'll continue to take the lead on climate finance. The new goal #NCQG should enhance & align global public & private finance to mobilize trillions needed, noting special needs of SIDS. Fairness demands that historically high emitting countries contribute if economically able.4/5

Yesterday was a long day with many intense exchanges, all with a strong focus on #climatechange , climate finance and strong partnerships. Looking forward to three more days of important discussions on our way to build resilient prosperity for SIDS. #SIDS4 5/5

Cooperation with SIDS is a priority for 🇩🇪 because we share the same goals: be it tackling climate as a risk to human security or strengthening a multilateral, rules-based system. SIDS are not just victims of the #climatecrisis , but shapers of an int'l system fit for today. 2/5
