Why trillions more are needed to bridge the SDG financing gap

Abstract

In 2014, on the eve of the adoption of the SDGs, UNCTAD’s World Investment Report put the annual investment gap faced by developing countries to achieve the goals at $2.5 trillion. A new midpoint review sets the bar much higher, at $4 - $4.3 trillion, according to the latest UNCTAD SDG Investment Trends Monitor. Taking place ahead of COP28, the World Investment Forum 2023 offers a platform for policymakers at the highest levels to take decisive actions to accelerate SDG financing.
