The intricate relationship between sovereign debt and climate finance underscores the critical role that financial frameworks play in national development and environmental sustainability. Sovereign borrowing serves as a vital tool for nations to fuel economic growth, promote sustainable development, and address pressing challenges such as climate change. However, the confluence of mounting debt levels and the increasing impacts of climate change raises concerns about the ability of governments to navigate these challenges effectively. This workshop serves as a platform to explore the intricate connections between climate change, sovereign debt, vulnerability, and climate justice, reflecting a global commitment to innovative financial mechanisms and collaborative efforts in addressing these challenges.
This engaging workshop aims to convene a diverse group of stakeholders, with a primary focus on experts from financial and climate institutions, academia, government representatives, and civil society. The event will be hybrid, providing both in-person attendance in London (please contact georgina@slycantrust.org) and online registration available through this link.
