The Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group of Ministers of Finance of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) is composed of 68 of the most climate-threatened economies, representing 1.5 billion people. It was founded in October 2015 under the CVF Presidency of the Philippines, just two months before the Paris Agreement, in a major effort to strengthen economic and financial responses to climate change. Since October 2023, building on the longstanding collaboration of the V20 and UNU-EHS, a new joint work programme under UNU-VIE has been launched, providing technical and administrative support to the CVF-V20 Secretariat. The goal of the programme is to support the V20 Secretariat as a platform for finance ministers from the most climate-vulnerable economies to set the agenda for developing a climate-resilient global financial architecture, strengthening international cooperation for climate prosperity, and building global strategies for catalytic, development-positive climate action.
