Civil Society Declaration Finance In Common Summit (FiCS) | Fostering Infrastructure And Finance For Just and Sustainable Growth
The confluence of rising inequality, debt crises, and the escalating climate emergency demands that Public Development Banks (PDBs) demonstrate genuine leadership in driving just, sustainable development.

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) call on PDBs to embrace this responsibility and champion a new era of development finance.
