Background information about the event and FEPS’ initiative:

International solidarity, commitment to multilateralism, and promotion of development have been at the heart of the European Union’s mission. However, in today’s increasingly challenging political landscape – marked by the rise of far-right agendas, interest-driven policies, and isolationist governments – the multilateral system, particularly development cooperation, is under threat. Rather than retreating, this shifting environment should push the EU, led by the progressive family, to deepen its global engagement, championing its core values of human rights, equality and democracy.

The FfD4 provides a unique opportunity to reshape the global financing framework and intensify efforts to accelerate the implementation of the PTFTF as well 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Summit will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, civil society organisations, international institutions and private actors from all over the world. Participants will discuss key issues such as the debt burdens affecting developing countries, IMF Special Drawing Rights, and the reform of international financial institutions.

Since 2018, FEPS, in collaboration with its partners, has been at the forefront of advocating for multilateral reforms through its ‘UNited for’ flagship initiative, championing the need for more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable global policies. Last year, FEPS and its partners, contributed to the Summit of the Future, actively advocating for a “New Global Deal“. This publication focuses on the need to reshape international institutions to better respond to the evolving needs of the world, ensuring that policies prioritise people and the planet while fostering international cooperation for a just and resilient future.
