What are the key events of development and climate financing in 2025?

Spain will host the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) from June 30 to July 3, 2025 📆. This meeting comes ten years after the previous FfD3 conference, which led to the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, a framework for providing adequate financing to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The FfD4 Conference will provide an opportunity to take stock of progress made and emerging needs in development financing.

COP30 will take place from November 10 to 21 📆 in Belém, Brazil, 10 years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement. It will represent an opportunity to pursue discussions around climate financing and the adoption of a New Quantified Collective Goal, begun at COP29 and whose results were deemed unsatisfactory by civil society organizations and a number of developing countries.

The G20 Summit under the South African presidency, with a segment bringing together heads of state and government in Cape Town. This annual meeting, to be held on November 22 and 23 📆, will focus on the themes of debt relief, development and climate financing.
