The Climate Vulnerable Forum and V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20) Troika now invite Member States to submit formal expressions of interest (EOI) to assume the next Presidency of the CVF-V20.

As a coalition of 74 climate-vulnerable nations across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Middle East, the CVF-V20 operates on a rotating Presidency to ensure a strong, continuous global voice for climate resilience and financial equity. The CVF-V20 is currently presided over by Barbados, under the leadership of Her Excellency Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, with the support of the CVF-V20 Troika, which comprises Barbados as the incumbent Presidency and the Republic of Ghana and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh as the two immediate past Presidencies. 

During the upcoming V20 Ministerial Meetings, Ministers are invited to verbally express their country’s interest to serve as the Presidency, and, in addition, to officially circulate a Note Verbale to the CVF-V20 Presidency through the Permanent Mission of Barbados in New York. 

The term of Barbados to serve in the presidency will continue until the new President is voted on and then formally announced at the end of the CVF Leaders Meeting in September 2026. The new presidency will assume its functions in January 2027.
