- Transformation of international financial institutions financing: Exploring how shifting existing flows, accessing SDRs and optimizing lending headroom can best support climate resilient futures
- Debt sustainability: Exploring how the Common Framework could deliver its most through more comprehensive access to climate threatened economies and by supporting development-positive climate action
- Global carbon finance: Exploring how to enable equitable and ambitious climate action by major and vulnerable economies alike through internationally transferred mitigation outcomes and financing
- G7-V20 Global Shield against Climate Risks: Exploring how this major new initiative can transform the management and integration of climate risks of all kinds to close financial protection gaps and accelerate the building of a resilient future
- The V20 Ministerial X will also explore the linkages between these four key areas for transformation and the county-led Climate Prosperity Plans of the V20, which present economy-wide development positive climate action strategies for investment, and public and private partnerships to activate cooperation enabling their implementation
