What: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/a> will cost trillions of dollars per year and cannot be met from public resources alone. \u00a030 business giants will meet at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Headquarters in New York on 12 October for the Fourth Annual Meeting of the GISD Alliance to highlight advances and key deliverables that are being implemented to better align private finance to the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Established by the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Secretary-General in October 2019, the GISD Alliance \u2014 heads of leading banks, pension groups, investment funds and other financial sector corporations worldwide \u2014 seeks to find solutions to scale up private finance and long-term investment for the SDGs, the blueprint for a more resilient and inclusive world.<\/p>\n

The Annual Meeting is being held as the world experiences huge shocks to the global economy, with severe consequences for the most vulnerable countries and marginalized groups. In this rapidly evolving global environment, the work of the GISD Alliance has become more critical than ever as we seek new approaches to scale up private finance and investment for the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Co-Chairs Ms. Leila Fourie (CEO of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange)\u00a0and Mr. Jos\u00e9 Vi\u00f1als (Group Chairman of Standard Chartered), together with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Mr. Navid Hanif, will brief the media on the outcomes of the Annual Meeting at the Spokesperson\u2019s Daily Briefing.<\/p>\n
