Full house for Recourse | @re-course.org on Bluesky #smcs025 event at World Bank on IFC sustainability framework review. Great discussions on FPIC, disclosure, financial intermediaries and much more
This week I am representing Recourse | @re-course.org on Bluesky at UN Finance for Development #FFD4 meetings in New York. Joining many of our allies and partners in Civil Society Financing for Development Mechanism #FFD4. Aiming for progress in discussions on debt and international financial architecture.
At the #FFD4 talks, civil society amplifying important calls for a debt convention, which needs to be an outcome. More urgent than ever as UN Trade and Development says external debt of developing countries has hit a record US$11.4 trillion.
Responding to mariana paoli at the #FFD Forum, @WBG tried to reassure Civil Society Financing for Development Mechanism that private finance-first approaches will mobilise more resources for development Not sure who needs convincing, @WBprez who called B2T 'unrealistic' or WB chief economist who called it a 'fantasy' 🤷♀️
Listening to country after country in global South demanding IMF governance and SDR reform, i.e. the fundamentals of the institution at #FfD4 Robert Powell are you listening? Or are all these countries still misunderstanding how the IMF works?
At NY climate week in 2022, a senior person working in philanthropy said to me "we need to figure out how to get the climate movement stoked to push JPMorganChase to finance more windmills." It's been haunting me ever since, so we wrote a report and it's in the Financial Times (!) 🧵
