The COP31 Presidency's new Climate Implementation Bridge drew a lineup of pilot countries and financiers on Nov. 13, 2026. Nearly all endorsed it. Many also asked who will steer it.
Türkiye put $3 million behind the initiative and signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations Development Programme on stage. No formal decisions were taken, so BRIDGE's governance and its survival beyond COP31 remain open questions.
- Pilot countries back BRIDGE but ask for a clear role in its governance.
- Development banks and climate funds offer support, and some want steering roles.
- BRIDGE launches as a country-led bridge, not a new fund, focused first on electrification.
- Türkiye pledges $3 million and signs an MoU with UNDP.
