Financing Rights – The Right to Finance?
This workshop explores the bidirectional relationship between development finance and the realization of economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights. What can FfD4 provide for progressive realization? What does it need to learn from a systematic human rights approach? Anchored in commitments like Article 2 of the International Covenant on ESC Rights, we will critically examine the financing for development (FfD) agenda: Join experts to discuss pathways for a rights-driven outcome at the 4th International Conference on FfD and discuss: How can human rights principles shape the global agenda for financing sustainable development?
Moderation:
Wolfgang Obenland (Forum Environment and Development)
Building a new Debt Architecture for Economic Justice: Opportunities and Obstacles in the FfD Process
How can we prevent countries from falling into recurring debt crises? Civil society actors are calling for the establishment of an inclusive, and binding UN-led process that sets rules for the entire debt cycle, aiming to prevent and resolve debt crises in a human rights-centered manner. What is the essence of this proposal and how promising are the negotiations within the Financing for Development (FfD) process so far? Which countries are supportive – and who is blocking? In this workshop, we will explore the current dynamics, discuss future perspectives, and identify action points for the months ahead.

Sarah Ribbert (Heinrich-Boell-Foundation)
