This high-level panel explored how to implement the FfD4 agenda in a way that is resilient and future-proof, despite today’s fragmented and volatile global landscape. IISD presented new research on the most important sources of development finance, introducing a strategic framework linking these sources with actionable policy strategies that can future-proof development finance, making it more resilience, adaptable and impactful over the next decade.

The side event aimed to 1) provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss a new approach to global economic governance, including changes to the international financial architecture and implications for the next decade of development finance and 2) present an approach to implementing FfD4 that prioritizes sources of finance and policy actions based on probability of success, and maximum impact.
