As countries turn from immediate crisis response to recovery, and the international community gears up for COP26, more emphasis is being placed on multilateral development banks (MDBs) and donor shareholders than ever before.
But for development banks to play a transformational role in scaling up support for developing countries in their transition onto low-emission climate-resilient pathways, they need guidance from shareholder governments. Donor governments can influence MDBs to enhance climate ambition and action – including through alignment with the objectives of the Paris Agreement – through their voting power and provision of concessional resources.
This OECD and E3G hosted closed-door workshop will facilitate a discussion among line-ministries of MDB donor shareholders (finance, foreign affairs/development co-operation and environment/climate) and representatives of the MDBs. Recent and ongoing work of E3G and the OECD will inform the discussion.
Time: 13:00 – 15:30 BST
