This is neither \u201cidle thought or arbitrary comment on our part,\u201d Mottley told the plenary hall in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, many in the room would have been familiar with what she is proposing. At the end of July, Mottley hosted a retreat in Barbados&#8217;s capital Bridgetown to brainstorm solutions and test her ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The retreat was convened with senior UN officials including deputy secretary general Amina Mohammed, the Rockefeller and Open Society foundations, academics and civil society. Canada\u2019s prime minister Justin Trudeau tuned in virtually.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome was the &#8216;Bridgetown Agenda&#8217; \u2013 a set of core messages designed to reform the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), institutions set-up at the end of World War II and still dominated by the US and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Mottley has embarked on a diplomatic drive to gather support for the movement for reform she began in Bridgetown.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, she travelled to the White House to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/miaamormottley\/status\/1570503600312569856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">present<\/a>\u00a0the plan to US vice president Kamala Harris.

This is our time to make that defining difference,&#8221; she later told the UN plenary hall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd many of the things that are put before us today don&#8217;t require money, but they require a commitment and they require political will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y4lUZK1YJNo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The plan for reform is based around a new form of internationalism which seeks solutions that transcend national borders, Avinash Persaud, one of Mottley\u2019s closest advisors and the brain behind many of the proposals, told Climate Home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is not going to progress with country-by-country commitments. It\u2019s going to progress through a global movement and global projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For Mottley and her team, the financial system is failing to provide developing countries with the funds necessary to invest in resilience, address climate change and meet development goals at a time when vulnerable nations are facing soaring debt levels.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 60% of the world\u2019s lowest-income countries were already in debt distress or at high risk of it before the start of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/voices\/are-we-ready-coming-spate-debt-crises\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the World Bank<\/a>. Rising costs have made things worse.<\/p>\n<p>Persaud has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.trust.org\/item\/20220902144825-7k163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned<\/a> that \u201ca silent wave of financial stress is running through world markets and will soon crash onshore\u201d with widespread consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, climate vulnerable nations from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2022\/08\/11\/pakistan-struggles-to-rebuild-after-deadly-flash-floods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pakistan<\/a> to Puerto Rico are facing growing costs to recover from climate disaster and prepare for the next one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order for us to get away from that, we need to secure long-term funding. This must now be the global movement of our time,\u201d Mottley told an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sFjvsiHWAdk&amp;ab_channel=GatesFoundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">event<\/a> in New York organised by the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Want climate news in your inbox?

This includes by allowing the banks to hold SDRs for lending.<\/p>\n<p>The third step is to develop long-term instruments that can mobilise $3-4 trillion in finance for carbon-cutting projects and a mechanism for raising reconstruction grants to help nations rebuild after climate disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the money could come from the IMF agreeing to a new issuance of $650bn in SDRs \u2013 a threshold that doesn\u2019t require approval by US Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The next push for Mottley will be the annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, which start next month.<\/p>\n<p>As the largest shareholder in both institutions, the US government would need to be on board.<\/p>\n<p>UN chief Ant\u00f3nio Guterres has made clear he backs Mottley&#8217;s agenda. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sg\/en\/content\/sg\/press-encounter\/2022-09-21\/full-transcript-of-secretary-generals-press-encounter-after-global-crisis-response-group-roundtable-and-leaders%E2%80%99-roundtable-climate-change%C2%A0%C2%A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speaking to the press<\/a> on Wednesday, he called on Washington to \u201cget behind these ideas now\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In July, Barbados&#8217; prime minister invited leaders to a retreat to discuss plans to scale-up international finance for the climate frontlines.
