Strengthening Access to Long-Term Financing for Sustainable Development in Cities and Worldwide
For the third year in a row, global progress on the SDGs has stalled. The report demonstrates that at the midpoint in the 2030 Agenda none of the 17 SDGs are on track to be achieved. There is a risk that the gap in SDG outcomes between high-income countries (HICs) and low-income countries (LICs) will be larger in 2030 than when the goals were universally agreed upon in 2015. Despite the grim news, the report demonstrates that now is the time for countries to double down on SDG progress by endorsing deep reform of the global financial architecture and implementing the SDG Stimulus to close the significant financing gap facing developing and emerging countries. The SDGs remain the future we want.
Hosted by the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, and the City of Paris and organized in partnership with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN). Version française ci-dessous.
This affiliated event to the Paris Summit on a New Global Financing Pact aims to provide important contributions in the run-up to several global finance meetings being held this year, to strengthen international financing for achieving the SDGs in cities and globally. It will feature the launch of a new Global Commission for Urban SDG Finance and the release of the 2023 Sustainable Development Report, which tracks the SDG performance of all UN Member States every year.
