The Climate Prosperity Fellowship Program is now accepting nominations from ministries of Finance, Economy, and Planning in V20 member countries. Launched by the V20 Finance Ministers in collaboration with the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, the program aims to strengthen national capacities in climate finance, policy reform, and resource mobilization to support the implementation of Climate Prosperity Plans (CPPs).

The fellowship was inaugurated during the 2023 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF in Marrakech, Morocco. It forms part of a broader commitment to equip climate-vulnerable nations with the tools and networks necessary to drive forward resilient and inclusive economic development.

- Reforming international financial architecture
- Carbon finance mechanisms and climate risk management
