Driving Sustainable Development through Strategic Investments

Global finance fails to prioritize people and the planet despite $430 trillion in wealth. Current sustainable finance efforts lack the necessary scale. UNDP advocates for an SDG-aligned economic governance framework, guiding governments, NGOs, and the private sector toward SDG investments. The UNDP FC4S Initiative, in partnership with the UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub, is working to bridge the gap between investors and impact opportunities. The UNDP SDG Investment Pipeline Program and SDG Investor Maps are interconnected components of UNDP’s efforts to mobilize private sector capital for SDG projects, from initial identification to implementation and impact. UNDP’s ambitious target is to mobilize $1 trillion from public and private sectors for the SDGs, encouraging partners to join in creating a fairer, sustainable future.
