GLOBE Event: Is the Global Debt System Fit for Our Future?
S2.09

Speaker: Leo Fabbri

More than three billion people live in countries where debt payments exceed spending on healthcare and education. The Covid-19 Pandemic exposed deep debt vulnerabilities in developing economies, leading to debt defaults. Today, rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, disrupted trade, and climate change intensify these challenges.

This seminar explores the political economy of sovereign debt and asks: Is the international community equipped to manage growing default risks, or is reform needed? By examining proposals from governments, civil society, and academia, we will consider how to create a more sustainable and transparent global debt system.

GLOBE Workshop - From Baku to Belém: The Climate Finance Roadmap to COP 30
WBS London, The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street London SE1 9SG

Join us for a workshop at WBS London, featuring leading experts and negotiators to review COP29 climate finance outcomes and develop strategies for just and equitable climate action leading up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025.

About the Event:

Climate finance is central to meeting international legal climate obligations and driving policy and operational change on climate action locally, transnationally, and globally. The outcome of the 29th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (COP29) in Baku Azerbaijan, November 2024 (dubbed the ‘Finance COP’) was a new global finance goal and a framework for raising ambition for climate finance in the run-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025. The agreement for a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) commits developed countries to ‘lead’ on mobilising at least US$300 billion in climate finance annually by 2035 and sets into motion a pathway to work towards a scaling up of finance to US$1.3 trillion a year by 2035.
