Limited Capacity seats available
The UN has calculated that an estimated capital gap of $2.5 trillion (U.S.) exists between current global spending levels and what will be required for the world to reach the 2030 targets. The good news is we have trillions of dollars that are available to be invested, we just need the right institutions and tools that can unlock and align those finances with the SDGs. This panel will explore innovative financial strategies that are making an impact on the SDGs from the local to the global.
