About this Discussion

According to the IPCC, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the concentration has been rising steadily. The most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is largely the product of burning fossil fuels. 

There is alarming evidence that important tipping points, leading to irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system, may already have been reached or passed. One of the most urgent challenges facing countries across the world today is how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also combating climate change.

The Paris climate change agreement commits nations to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with countries pledging to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions – through a combination of mitigation and adaptation measures – by 2030.

#PAGE and the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action cohosted #ProsperityThroughResilience at #UNEA7 bringing together leaders from Brazil🇧🇷, Germany🇩🇪, Uganda🇺🇬, Indonesia🇮🇩, and global institutions to rethink how public finance can respond to climate risks, mobilize investment, strengthen competitiveness, and support inclusive growth. 

➡️The conversation underscored a shared understanding: resilience is now a driver of prosperity, and aligning fiscal governance with climate, nature, and economic priorities is essential for the future.

✅As an outcome of this dialogue, the Joint PAGE–CFMCA Co-Chair’s Action Note for UNEA-7 captures a shared aspiration emerging from the #FFD4 engagements: strengthening the fiscal foundations, institutional capacities, and investment pathways that make economies more resilient, competitive, and inclusive.

Sharing this publication from our SEI colleagues: The Minerals–Energy–Food Complex! 

This report offers a fresh MEF lens to understand how minerals, energy and food systems are interconnected—and how they shape (and are shaped by) local resources, global markets and climate pressures. It also highlights power imbalances, where low-income countries face the impacts of extraction while others reap the gains.

The findings underscore why an inclusive green economy must prioritize transparency, fair governance and meaningful participation for affected communities.
