The fourth edition of the Finance in Common Summit will gather the global network of Public Development Banks (PDBs) to strengthen coordination and cooperation with governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society to promote sustainable development and align financial flows with the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement.
