On April 18, 2024, Nexus²⁵, the Center for Climate and Security (CCS), and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) hosted the third annual Roundtable on the sidelines of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings.

The event brought together leaders from government, international financial institutions (IFIs), civil society, and multilateral organizations. After hearing opening “pitches” on climate finance innovations and best practices, participants discussed how to build the case for investments in fragile, conflict affected, and vulnerable (FCV) settings, operationalize policy frameworks like the Declaration on Relief, Recovery and Peace, and support nexus thinking in IFIs.

This discussion was part of a series of Nexus²⁵ meetings with a diverse range of bilateral and multilateral stakeholders throughout 2024. Nexus²⁵ is funded by Stiftung Mercator, one of the largest private foundations in Germany. Future Nexus²⁵ discussions will be held in Rome ahead of COP29.
