Operationalizing inclusive and gender-responsive climate finance and strengthening South–South cooperation.
Advancing circularity and sustainable lifestyles by making technology and institutions respond to people, planet, and prosperity.
Ensuring that artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and industrial innovation are deployed equitably, powered responsibly, and governed transparently.
Championing renewed multilateralism that moves beyond promises to implementation, recognizing climate action as a matter of survival for the Global South and Small Island States, and committing to reforms that strengthen cooperation, rebuild trust, and deliver climate justice for people and planet.
