About this Event
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all 193 UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals were intended as an urgent call for action to solve the world’s greatest development challenges. Ranging from an end to poverty and reduced inequality to tackling climate change and preserving the world’s oceans and forests.
To realize the SDGs will take partnerships not just government, civil society, and business but also the financial industry. It is estimated that achieving the SDGs will take between US$5 to $7 trillion with a $2.5 trillion investment gap in developing countries. Private funding and impact investing hold significant potential to close this gap as investors can leverage large amounts of investment capital.
Join us for a talk as we discuss barriers and opportunities for Trade, Investment, and the importance of investing in the UN SDGs. Our list of panelists are:
Joseph Cox, Assistant Secretary-General of CARICOM
John Dickson, Former Chairman of the World Trade Centers Association Committee on Peace through Trade
