Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will require a greater commitment across sectors and industries. While it is clear that the ambition of the 2030 Agenda goes far beyond what traditional official development assistance can deliver, there is still an estimated $2.5 trillion gap in annual funding that needs to be bridged. On the other hand, reaching the goals can also open up an estimated $12 trillion of market opportunities. So how do we turn these challenges into opportunities for meaningful private sector engagement? And what’s needed to build a movement of business leaders that can truly translate commitments and talk into action and measurable impact on the ground?
This discussion will move beyond just acknowledging the need for more private sector engagement and corporate leadership to exploring ways in which we can create more and better synergies between the global development community and the private sector to drive progress on the SDGs.
