Opening event - FiCS-G20 Rio Joint Event: “Shaping impactful solutions for Sustainable Finance - a dialogue between Public Development Banks and the G20”

📢 For the first time, under the leadership of a G20 Brasil 2024 Presidency, we have gathered delegates from PDBs, G20 working groups, and their key partners.

This event, co-hosted with BNDES, Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS) and Ministério da Fazenda, marks a significant milestone for the FiCS initiative, highlighting the importance of hashtag#PDBs in global development and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals hashtag#SDGs particularly during this difficult period in Brazil.
