Finance will be in focus with a demand that historic commitments are fulfilled, such as the USD 100bn from developed countries annually from 2020 – 2025 and a doubling of international finance for adaptation by 2025 agreed at COP26.

“We are in the decisive decade to avert the worst of the climate crisis, and how can we not try to be more ambitious, scale up our work, do more to accelerate the green growth transformation in our Member countries that the world so urgently needs. Doing anything less would be irresponsible.”
