We Mean Business Pavilion
(Open with a UN Pass)
Fiscal policies are a primary tool for transitioning away from fossil fuels. Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) and COFFIS are two leading coalitions of countries committed to international and domestic action on transitioning international public finance from fossil fuels to renewables and on fossil fuel subsidy reform.
This event will highlight shared ambitions and strengthen connections between governments and business in advancing this agenda. The event will also serve as an opportunity to announce new coalition members and spotlight progress across both initiatives.
A reception will follow.
