CVF
CLIMATE PROSPERITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME
The Climate Prosperity Fellowship Programme was launched by the V20 Finance Ministers on 13 October 2023, at the sidelines of the 2023 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund in Marrakech, Morocco. The Fellowship Programme is in partnership with Boston University Global Development Policy Center and the Centre for Sustainable Finance at SOAS University of London.
This initiative aims to advance cooperation and engagement of officials from V20 Member Countries towards supporting development-positive climate action through Climate Prosperity Plans (CPPs) and addressing the challenges posed by out-of-date global financial architecture.
It will equip fellows with the latest research and analytics needed to accelerate the development, implementation, and financing of CPPs in their respective countries; while fostering collaboration on vital climate finance and sustainable development solutions.
There are 15 pioneering fellows who are mid- to senior-level finance officials from 13 V20 Member Countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Eswatini, Fiji, The Gambia, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Maldives, Philippines, Rwanda, and Tonga.
