The mission of the GISD Alliance is more important than ever. Progress on more than 80% of the Sustainable Development Goal targets is either insufficient or has gone into reverse, and there is now only a 14% chance of keeping global warming below the critical threshold of 1.5C.
Unlocking additional private capital for sustainable development, especially in developing countries, is essential to building a prosperous and peaceful world for all.
The GISD Alliance is organising a series of substantive multi-stakeholder consultations in the following areas ahead of the UN's fourth Financing for Development Conference (FfD4) taking place in 2025:
-
Enhancing private capital mobilisation through blended finance and the MDB evolution agenda
-
Tackling local currency risk
-
Aligning private incentives along the investment chain with long-term sustainable development
The recommendations emanating from the consultations will be presented to UN Member States as part of the preparatory process for the Conference. The aim is to leverage the unique opportunity presented by the Conference to drive impactful changes to the investment ecosystem at the national and international levels, which in turn will unlock finance and investment in sustainable development.
