Laurence Tubiana: Break the Debt Trap: Financing a Just Transition

Break the Debt Trap: Financing a Just Transition - Keynote The sovereign debt crisis in the Global South is not a series of isolated emergencies. It is a systemic failure that forces many countries to spend more on servicing debt than on social priorities such as health, education, gender equality, and climate resilience. This conference moves beyond crisis commentary to focus on why the debt system keeps countries trapped and what can change it, from the role of private creditors to the impact of illicit financial flows. The goal is practical solutions that free up money where it is needed most: debt reform, fairer risk pricing, and more climate finance delivered as grants to support a just transition.
