Trade, Investment And Investing in the SDGs

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all 193 UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is estimated that achieving the SDGs will take between US$5 to $7 trillion with a $2.5 trillion investment gap in developing countries. Private funding and impact investing hold significant potential to close this gap as investors can leverage large amounts of investment capital. Join us for a talk as we discuss barriers and opportunities for Trade, Investment and the importance of investing in the UN SDGs.
