Previous Global Future Council on SDG Investment
Council mission and objectives
COVID-19 has exacerbated the vulnerabilities of the global economic architecture, worsening social and economic inequalities. In a post-pandemic ecosystem, building resilient and sustainable societies will be critical for the stability of our economies, but how can this agenda be pursued in a climate of rising debts and increasing risk aversion? The Global Future Council on SDG Investment will explore how to “reconnect the dots” between countries, private and institutional investors, donors and development finance actors to unlock capital at scale towards the Sustainable Development Goals and leverage them as a recovery framework to transition into an inclusive, resilient and sustainable future for all.
