V20 Climate Prosperity Fellowship Program

The Vulnerable 20 (V20) Ministers of Finance, in partnership with Boston University Global Development Policy Center and the Centre for Sustainable Finance at SOAS, University of London, created and launched the V20 Climate Prosperity Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Program seeks to advance cooperation and engagement of officials from V20 member countries to address the challenges posed by an unfit-for-purpose global financial architecture and catalyze ambitious development-positive climate action through Climate Prosperity Plans (CPPs).

The V20 Climate Prosperity Fellowship is a significant step towards promoting coordination and accelerated support for climate-vulnerable nations. It will equip fellows with the latest research and analytics needed to develop and implement CPPs while fostering collaboration on vital climate finance and sustainable development solutions. The program is aligned with the Accra-Marrakech Agenda and focuses on its four key pillars: (1) Make Debt Work for the Climate; (2) Transform the International and Development Financial System; (3) A New Global Deal on Carbon Financing; and (4) Revolutionize Risk Management for our Climate Insecure World Economy.

The program was officially launched at the 2023 International Monetary Fund (IMF) /World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Marrakech, Morocco and consists of an expert and custom designed curriculum, a residency at Boston University and gatherings along the sidelines of major policy events like the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) and the 2024 IMF/World Bank Group Spring Meetings.
