10h25 - 12:00 – Panel 1: Beyond Aid: A G20 Roadmap for Climate and Disaster Finance
Dominant climate finance and development aid narratives emphasize the hazard component of vulnerability and risk and ignore structural and proximate drivers of fragility and vulnerability. When these drivers are ignored, development, climate change, humanitarian, and other policies and programs can increase fragility, vulnerability, and conflict risk. Transformative, just, and integrated public-private financing approaches to systemic climate and disaster risk management in the global context are required as a part of the SDG framework.

15h30 - 17h00 – Panel 3: New Global Governance Architecture for Weathering Poly-Crisis
The Washington Consensus, a set of neoliberal economic policies, has dominated global economic governance for decades. However, its limitations and failures have become increasingly evident, necessitating a new paradigm. The current system often prioritizes financial stability and market liberalization over social equity and environmental sustainability. This has led to widening inequality, financial crises, and ecological degradation. A new global economic governance framework must address these shortcomings and promote a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable global economy - considering global south aspirations.
