Despite the overall fast development of green technology in the world, many developing countries face systemic barriers in green transition -such as comparatively low investment and difficulties of accessing financing in green technology, pressure from the global trade barrier and green standards and supply chain, etc.. These often prevent these regions from fully participating in and benefiting from the global green economy.

Advancing global collaboration is critical to address these issues. Through promoting green investment and financing, especially joint efforts from various countries, including setting up joint manufacturing facilities, promoting technology transfer, and establishing standards, thereby helping global south to share in the economic gains of the green transition, create jobs, and achieve sustainable prosperity, and contribute to the achievement of global climate goals.

Through panel discussion, this dialogue will explore in the new geopolitical, economic and climate governance circumstances, how to leverage different stakeholders and tap the potential of various partnerships to mobilize green investment and financing in the world especially global south.
