French President Emmanuel Macron will host world leaders in Paris this week for a summit to overhaul a global financial system dating back 80 years so the world is better able to respond to climate change and future pandemics.
No formal decisions will be taken at Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, on 22 and 23 June, which is instead seeking to build momentum for reforming lending mechanisms so poorer nations can access urgent financing to address their most urgent needs.
