Notes of the Briefing

Objectives

• Get the latest known information on the Summit.
• Outline what a New Global Financing Pact should entail
• Share advocacy plans and initiatives in the works
• Explore how the advocacy community, especially those in the Global South, can work together in the lead-up to the Summit

Briefing Background

Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, has been championing an ambitious financing agenda, the so-called Bridgetown Initiative. Now French President Emmanuel Macron, in coordination with Indian Prime Minister Modi, has invited world leaders to a summit in Paris in June 2023 – to agree on a New Global Financing Pact, as you may have already heard. A background concept note for the Summit can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/25r9mt3t

This presents a great opportunity to make progress on development and climate financing for all countries in need, including on more sustainable mechanisms to fund these global challenges in the long term.

Global Citizen is already actively working with advocacy partners on shaping the policy agenda of the summit and wants to increasingly mobilize on this over the next few months. We feel that we are much stronger working closely with partners from all over the world. However, little information about the summit has been published so far, therefore, we are organising a seminar to:

• Get the latest known information on the Summit.
• Outline what a New Global Financing Pact should entail
• Share advocacy plans and initiatives in the works
• Explore how the advocacy community, especially those in the Global South, can work together in the lead-up to the Summit

Presented by Friederike Roder, Vice-President, Global Advocacy at Global Citizen, along with contributions from other colleagues working on the Summit. This one-hour seminar will be useful for all organisations actively working on the Summit, or keen to learn more. This seminar will be the first in a series leading up to the Paris Summit to help ensure civil society is informed and coordinated for the event.
