The “Finance in Common” summit will take place on 9-12 November 2020. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global socio-economic and climate crises, the Finance in Common Summit will stress the crucial role of Public Development Banks (PDBs) in reconciling short-term countercyclical responses to the crisis with sustainable recovery measures that will have a long-term impact on the planet and societies.
The summit is gathering the world’s 450 PDBs to discuss their role, their ambition, their challenges and opportunities;
 
A wide group of civil society organisations working on climate, environment, sustainable development, biodiversity, Human Rights, Indigenous Peoples' Rights, gender, and other topics, have worked jointly over the past few months to develop a joint cross-constituency statement with a number of demands towards PDBs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yG05kICOqNa2Zi67mrKVUBtsAiavhtLK/view?usp=sharing
