COP31's BRIDGE should be judged by deals closed, not plans written
Türkiye's COP31 Presidency has named Ethiopia, Fiji, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan as the first pilot countries for its Climate Implementation Bridge (BRIDGE) initiative. BRIDGE, delivered with the United Nations Development Programme, promises country-led support to build finance-ready project portfolios, identify bottlenecks, and improve access to existing international support.
