Summary

Many actors, both public and private, are shaping the future of finance to align it with sustainable development objectives. Significant progress is being made on economic policy and financial regulations with many of the most promising innovations coming from the South. In private finance also, there are already many well-established initiatives, principles and tools on sustainable finance.

This high-level event deepens the ongoing dialogue by focusing on what countries and the international community can do to capture and upscale these initial innovations. Participants will discuss key design elements for aligning the financial system with sustainable development, including by creating the conditions (policies and enablers) and building the capacity for both public and private finance to work together for sustainable development.
