International civil society conference on the need for ambitious outcomes of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) will take place in Sevilla, Spain from June 30 to July 3, 2025. FfD4 is expected to catalyse the urgently needed policy change to mobilize the necessary funds for sustaina-ble development and climate action. Therefore, it is expected to also set mile-stones in terms of reforming the international financial architecture.
From a civil society perspective, fundamental reforms of the international financ-ing system are imperative for reaching sustainable development and ending global poverty and hunger. A successful FfD4 outcome must at least include am-bitious agreements to systematically overhaul the international debt architec-ture, to advance a fair international tax system and to make multilateral financial institutions more inclusive and effective for countries of the Global South.
