Geneva, 28 of October 2020 — The first summit bringing together the international finance community and national development banks to support common action for climate change mitigation and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, will take place in November.

The Finance Common Summit will kick-off with a workshop from the 3 to 5 of November, the research conference will be on the 9 and 10, and the high-level political segment will be on the 11 and 12 November.
