What happened?
As preparations for the UN Summit of the Future gather momentum, it is imperative to delve into the crucial role of finance in shaping the global agenda. Building on the success of last year’s event, “Catalysing green reform of the international financial system”, this edition provided a crucial platform to strategic country representatives from Asia, Africa and Europe. They were given the opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue and explore innovative financing solutions and strategies tailored to meet the specific requirements of different countries, thereby fostering greater inclusivity and resilience.
As we look towards the future, the need for efficient and sustainable financing solutions has never been more pressing. This dinner discussion provided a valuable platform for ambassadors and representatives to engage in meaningful dialogue, share insights and chart a course towards a more inclusive and resilient global financial system. Together, let us harness the power of collaboration to address the priority needs of countries and build a brighter future for all.
By bringing together ambassadors and representatives from various countries and organisations, the dinner offered the opportunity to share best practices, leverage collective expertise and advance common goals and objectives.
This invitation-only event took place in Brussels. Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram, and join the #FoEDebateconversation.
