Dear Colleagues,
Please join us for an HLPF Side Event on “Financing a sustainable recovery: The role of debt-relief instruments.”

The event brings together UN and other international experts to present and explore efforts to develop instruments for debt relief and restore fiscal space, for countries’ COVID response, climate action and the SDGs. The session aims to strengthen international and regional discourse on debt relief, especially in relation to climate change and the upcoming COP26.
