簽署和公告包括以下內容:

  • 歐佩克基金和科索沃共和國簽署了《Framework Agreement for Private Sector Operations》(私營界別營運框架協議),旨在加強科索沃的私營界別,重點是基礎設施、連接、能源和水。歐佩克基金總幹事 Abdulhamid Alkhalifa 博士在 6 月訪問了科索沃,並表達了深化合作夥伴關係的目的。
  • Asian Development Bank 和歐佩克基金推出信託基金,以支援發展中國家的項目。作為第一項行動,歐佩克基金承諾向基金捐款 300 萬美元,將用於提供技術援助,強化準備、設計和採購工作,以改善投資項目的實施。
  • 歐佩克基金和南美洲開發銀行 FONPLATA 簽署「合作協議」,透過在拉丁美洲和加勒比地區共同融資更多策略項目,擴大和深化合作夥伴關係。
  • 歐佩克基金與聯合國資本發展基金 (UN Capital Development Fund, UNCDF) 和 Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) 合作,設計和提供新的氣候融資和能源創新樞紐 (Climate Finance and Energy Innovation Hub),該樞紐將於 11 月在埃及的聯合國氣候大會 COP27 上啟動。這個樞紐旨在作為全球端到端的政策和融資平台,利用金融創新的力量來搜尋、解鎖、降低風險和擴大能源存取和轉型的投資。歐佩克基金明白清潔烹飪是關鍵,因此作為倡議的一部分,準備動用 1 億美元,在剛果民主共和國、馬達加斯加、馬拉維和盧旺達支援相關項目。
  • 國際可再生能源機構 (International Renewable Energy Agency, IRENA) 和歐佩克基金簽署了諒解備忘錄,以協助獲得創新融資解決方案、解鎖投資,並支援項目開發,以推進可再生能源投資,並協助新興和發展中經濟體獲得可持續融資。

歐佩克基金總幹事 Alkhalifa 博士說:「這些新承諾和簽署是我們的聲明,表示合作面對前所未有的挑戰。我們的活動其中一個重點是在氣候變化、能源獲取和糧食供應等領域,我們需要緊急、有目標和聯合的行動。論壇的成功和積極動力令我們非常鼓舞,是推動快速和有力地前進的能量。」

歐佩克基金發展論壇 Driving Resilience & Equity(推動復原力與公平)匯集政府領導人、歐佩克基金成員和合作夥伴國家的部長、Arab Coordination Group(阿拉伯協調小組)機構主管、多邊發展銀行和國際組織的高級官員以及私營界別代表。活動包括 Climate Challenges vs Energy Needs - Development Perspectives(氣候挑戰與能源需求發展觀點)、Innovations that Enable a Smart Energy Future(創新可實現智能能源的未來)和 Turning Public Ambition into Effective Action(將公眾雄心轉化為有效行動)」的研討會,並以 South-South Co-ownership in Development Progress(南方共同擁有發展進程)議題結束。

2023 年歐佩克基金發展論壇的日期即將公佈。
