Merci President Emmanuel Macron for convening us in Paris. In a more shock-prone world facing existential climate threats, we must work together to build bridges between the Global South and North. Joint action is critical to mobilize vital financing for vulnerable countries.

Very pleased by today’s announcement that Zambia has agreed a debt treatment with its official creditors. Great news for the Zambian people & a significant breakthrough for the #G20CommonFramework showing it can deliver for countries committed to dealing with their debt problems.

As International Fund for Agricultural Development’s Goodwill Ambassador, I'm thrilled to be in Paris with Alvaro Lario to hear President Emmanuel Macron announce #France's championship of IFAD and its efforts to mobilise $10 billion in support of small-scale farmers who are key to global food security. Thanks France!

The New finance goal is now agreed at #COP29! It reflects the contestations in the current world. However, the #ClimateCrisis which vulnerable countries did not cause, is placed on a political weighing beam ACT Alliance Voices For Just Climate Action

Critical elements remain concerning: No mobilization goal of 1.3 T as developing countries asked, but a global climate finance flows ( public and private)l by all actors - no differentiation

On a sad note a new accounting practice is introduced. It makes achieving the USD 300 easy by counting finances that already exist or require repackaging. To this end the real value of the goal until 2035 is less than USD 100B and the rest is easy to raise. It is not ambitious.
