A committee will be set up to monitor the results of the Summit, and will meet for the first time in September.
The international community’s responses are currently fragmented, partial and insufficient. We therefore call for a fundamental overhaul of our approach. Together, we need to build a more responsive, fairer and more inclusive international financial system to fight inequalities, finance the climate transition, and bring us closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
MIA MOTTLEY, Prime Minister of Barbados
We will take a major step, as we will start by establishing a new consensus. The fight against poverty, the decarbonization of our economy in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and the protection of biodiversity, are closely intertwined. We therefore need to agree together on the best means to address these challenges in the poor and emerging countries of the developing world, when it comes to the amount of investment, to comprehensive reform of infrastructure like the World Bank, the IMF, and public and private funds, and how to set a new process in motion.

Why is a summit on a New Global Financing Pact being organised?
80 years after Bretton Woods, an overhaul of the international financial system is overdue. On 22 and 23 June, President Emmanuel Macron will convene heads of state and government, representatives of financial institutions, and representatives of the private sector and civil society in Paris to lay the foundation for a new system that will meet our shared challenges: fighting inequality, climate change and protecting biodiversity.
Where will the Summit be held ?
The Summit will be held at the Palais Brongniart, at Unesco and at the OCDE, in Paris
Throughout its history, France has acted as an honest international broker and helped unlock some of the most intractable issues – from closing the HIV/AIDS funding gap to enhancing liquidity access for middle-income countries in Africa. Now, seven years after the landmark Paris Agreement, world leaders will once again gather to conceive a fairer, more sustainable future for our planet.
Which countries will participate in the Summit ?
This is an inclusive, multi-stakeholder summit. Heads of State from across the Global North and South have been invited, along with the leaders of multilateral development banks, international organisations, the private sector and international NGOs.
Attendees will be announced shortly.
What is on the agenda ?
Together we will shape a new financing ‘toolbox’ that will be rolled out through six high-level round-tables and 40 parallel events. The Summit will provide the opportunity to examine interactions between multilateral development bank reform, mobilisation of private capital, climate finance, green infrastructure and solutions related to debt.
What does the Summit aim to achieve ?
Ahead of the many international events that will mark the end of 2023 and the years to follow, the Summit for New Global Financing Pact will establish the principles for future reforms and pave the way towards a more balanced financial partnership between the North and South. It will set the stage for new agreements to relieve debt distress. It will also enable more countries to access the financing they need to invest in sustainable development, to better protect nature and cut emissions, as well as help protect populations from climate change wherever most needed.
To rebuild credibility in the international system, we need a new pact that offers a level playing field, shares the burden of climate change, and builds prosperity and security for every country. The New Global Financing Pact will help define the principles and steps needed to reform the financial system and to combat the high levels of debt that tie governments’ hands when it comes to implement ambitious climate action to reduce the climate, economic and technological gaps that threaten to divide up our world.
