Global Public Investment Network

As 2030 approaches and the world gets its final #SDGs scorecard, we must protect what works—ensuring vulnerable communities can access life-saving resources—while reimagining a fairer, more cooperative system.

That’s the balance @GPI_Network seeks: protecting the present, designing the future. 🌍✨

Division grabs headlines, but only cooperation delivers results. 🌍
Our biggest challenges demand leadership rooted in collective action.

Global public investment shows international cooperation can succeed Global public investment shows international cooperation can succeed

Opinion: Instead of framing financial flows mainly as “aid” from high- to lower-income countries, global public investment envisions a system where all countries contribute, all benefit, and all have a say in how resources are used.

Last week, governments met in NYC to advance #GlobalPublicInvestment.
🌍Over a dozen took part, with more joining a process that began in Sevilla. Together with civil society & institutions, they’ll pilot frameworks for 2025–27.

YouTube video by Global Cooperation Institute The Birth of Global Public Investment. Mutual interest and mutuality in international public finance

We need to build solidarity across borders - between all those the global elite and far right work to divide.

This idea - Global Public Investment (GPI) - is an important part of it I think...

@globpubinvnet.bsky.social

The old story of rich countries giving aid no longer matches today’s reality.

Global Public Investment is reshaping how we fund global challenges—treating public money as a permanent, collective tool for the common good.

Climate mitigation that pays for itself? - Global Nation

Read the paper here: globalnation.world/publications...

6. Reduce climate damages and fuel prices to LMICs, saving US$78 billion in reduced climate damages and US$19 billion from lower fuel prices.

7. Improve geopolitical positioning and global security (e.g., reducing fossil fuel revenues to Russia).

4. Lower fuel prices for the EU and China by reducing demand for fossil fuels.

5. Deliver US$33 billion in transfers per year to LMICs in rewards for reducing their emissions, supporting development outcomes that also benefit wealthier nations.

(🧵...)

1. Mobilize US$66 billion annually to support climate mitigation in LMICs.

2. Cut emissions by 1060 Mt CO₂ per year (~half the EU’s current emissions from fossil fuels).

3. Reduce the cost of climate damages to the EU and China, by US$35 billion and US$37 billion respectively
(🧵...)

Here are some key benefits it would have for the EU and its partners (in this case, in a scneario with China as a partner):
(🧵...)

The paper proposes a new mechanism combining small levies on fossil fuel imports with a system of performance-based financial rewards. No need for broad consensus, but a smaller group of countries that place modest taxes on their fuel imports.
This proposes a model for the EU based in self-interest

A new paper by our @globalnation.bsky.social has a bold proposal on how to address climate finance gaps. The best part?
-No need for global consensus or new binding treaties
-Based on self-interest, not moral appeals
-This is a system that works for both high- and low-income countries
🧵

International cooperation is undergoing rapid change, creating space for new and better approaches to emerge.

As Winnie Byanyima reminds us, Africa has the chance to shape its own future—but only if it seizes the moment, rather than waiting for it.

💡 Big change starts with bold collaboration.
CAF is co-convening a global effort to modernize finance—unlocking better health, cleaner energy & more opportunities worldwide.

From Innovation to Impact: Why International Public Finance Must Lead the Way By Harpinder Collacott At every global forum on development finance, one theme keeps surfacing: we need more innovation. But innovation doesn’t scale on creativity alone.

🚀 From space exploration to fighting malaria, public finance has powered humanity's greatest leaps.

But innovation needs more than ideas — it needs resilient public finance.

Our ED explores how “pockets of the future” can guide global public investment. 👇

Why is Africa’s emergent leadership key to our future? As
Winnie Byanyima reminds us, regions like Africa can redefine global solidarity. Ubuntu — ‘We are because others are’ — could guide us toward a shared future.

Columnist Atieno Ndomo highlights why global public investment matters: it defends what's public and makes investment truly collective.
Article: www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/opinion/...

Public investment built our energy grids & health systems — now it must go global to face today’s challenges.

We are dependent on one another. A virus surging in a developing country could mean a future crisis for the developed world.
Global public investment recognizes this reality, and allows for the sharing of resources worldwide.

A central concern for our network is how to put the voice of civil society at the heart of a renewed international financial system. Not only do our members help us in moving this agenda forward, but they also keep us accountable. This is why they're so valuable to us.
