This week, the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action is hosting and supporting nine engagements in Bangkok, bringing together Finance Ministries and partners to exchange practical experiences and advance discussions on some of the most pressing economic and financing challenges facing countries today. Across ministerial, regional and technical dialogues, discussions will explore how Ministries of Finance can navigate fiscal and macroeconomic pressures, strengthen resilience, mobilize private investment, and translate climate priorities into practical economic and financial policies. The week will also mark important milestones in the Coalition’s work, including the 16th Ministerial Meeting, the 2026 Climate Action Statement, and the consultation on the updated Flagship Guide.

Preserving Macroeconomic Stability and Financing Resilience and the Green Transition in the Face of Energy Price Shocks

The discussion will examine how Finance Ministries can preserve macroeconomic stability and fiscal space while financing resilience and the green transition amid higher, more volatile energy prices. Ministers will exchange practical lessons on managing the economic impacts of energy price shocks, strengthening resilience to future energy and climate shocks, and mobilizing finance for adaptation, climate resilience, and energy sector diversification. Finance Ministers will also endorse the Coalition’s fourth Climate Action Statement and launch a consultation on the update of the Coalition’s flagship climate action guide.

The event will feature scene-setting remarks from the Co-Chair Ministers, a ministerial roundtable, and concluding reflections from senior leadership of the IMF and World Bank. During the plenary session, several speaking slots will be available for Ministers in attendance.
