Big Ideas Into Action #28: ACT2025 - Finance

ACT2025: Finance - for more go to www.wri.org/ACT2025 This new series of World Resources Institute podcasts looks at what vulnerable countries want from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. Success at COP26 are seen as critical if the world is going to avoid catastrophic climate change. We’re increasingly familiar with what many of the world’s richer and larger countries are saying ahead of the conference, about their apparent ambitions to make reductions in the amount of carbon they’re putting into the atmosphere. But what of smaller, poorer, more vulnerable nations? Many have joined a grouping called ACT2025 to make sure their voices are heard — and this series is about the issues that are important to them. WRI is the secretariat and core partner of ACT2025. This episode deals with FINANCE, and was put together by Molly Bergen and Nicholas Walton. It features WRI's Yamide Dagnet, Maria Laura Rojas Vallejo, co-founder and executive director of Transforma, and Sara Jane Ahmed, a finance advisor for the V20 — a grouping of 48 ministers of finance representing many of the most climate-vulnerable economies.
