From the HLPF 2024 to the Summit of the Future: will countries do what it takes to meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030? With only 17 per cent of SDG targets being on track to be achieved by 2030 globally, now is the time to invest in sustainable development on an unprecedented scale. https://lnkd.in/dJCr-Bte

This is the insidght from today’s speaker at the AIIDEV Africa Workshop, Mr. Emmanuel Ola-Olowoyo Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are the ambitious objectives for a greener, healthier, more peaceful and equal planet. The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.     SDG Targets and Indicators There are seventeen (17) goals, 169 targets and 230+ indicators. In essence, there are 241 indicators, however, nine (9) indicators are repeated under two (2) or three (3) different targets.   SDG by Pillars of Sustainable Development ·      People (SDG 1,2,3,4,5,6,11) ·      Planet (SDG 13,14,15) ·      Partnership (SDG 17) ·      Peace (SDG 16) ·      Prosperity (SDG 7,8,9,10,12)   SDG Transformations and Levers These are possible ways in achieving transformations: ·      Governance ·      Economy and Finance – the funds and investments needed to achieve the SDGs. ·      Individual and Collective action – it starts with each and every one of us. We all have a part to play. ·      Science and Technology – multiple platforms that can facilitate knowledge sharing, innovation, and collective action. ·      Capacity building – empowering others to play their part in this good cause.   The cost of achieving ambitious sustainable development targets is estimated at between $5.4 and $6.4 trillion per year between now and 2030. But, this should not be discouraging. Each one of us can start with the little we have. Together we can achieve the vision of a better world for current and future generations.   #sdg #sustainabledevelopment #agenda2063

UNDP’s latest report, "𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺", calls for a transformative shift towards policies that integrate economic, environmental, and social returns. Key recommendations include unlocking private capital flows through enhanced 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 (𝘐𝘕𝘍𝘍𝘴), and addressing sector-specific gaps in healthcare, renewable energy, and infrastructure. In partnership with 𝟰𝟯 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, UNDP has also developed #SDG Investor Maps, a powerful tool identifying over 600 investment opportunities across critical sectors—where returns are not only financial but measurable in 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵60% of these opportunities are concentrated in food, renewable energy, and infrastructure, sectors that present untapped market potential with returns exceeding $𝟭 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. The report’s call to prioritize coherent policies, sustainable finance, and inclusive frameworks reflects an urgent need to mobilize capital where it matters most. Embracing this roadmap will be vital as we push towards an inclusive, impact-driven economy that leaves no one behind. Let’s harness this roadmap to build an impact economy that is resilient, inclusive, and sustainable. By working together, we can drive transformative change to meet the ambitious #2030 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮.

UNDP has released a report highlighting essential policy reforms to drive private investment towards the #SDGs. Titled 'Policy Momentum for an Impact Economy: An Analysis of Policy Gaps Emerging through the Development of SDG Investor Maps', the report calls for a shift toward an "impact economy" that aligns financial returns with measurable development outcomes. Drawing insights from over 1,000 stakeholders across 43 countries, the report identifies key barriers limiting private investment in sectors vital for sustainable development, including renewable energy, agriculture, health care, and education. In addition to revealing untapped potential, the report emphasizes how strategic reforms can unlock essential services and enhance human capital in developing countries. With actionable insights from the SDG Investor Platform, this report serves as a roadmap for policymakers and investors committed to a sustainable and inclusive future. 🌱 Dive deeper into the findings below:

📌 Luc Rigouzzo, participated in a panel discussion dedicated to “addressing inequalities”, organized by Private Equity International in London.   Thanks to fellow panelists for your valuable insights Ines Mertens de Wilmars from Impact Europe, Cyril Gouiffès 🇪🇺 from European Investment Fund (EIF), Stephen Muers from Better Society Capital (previously Big Society Capital) and Liz Roberts from MassMutual.    🗣️ A few key takeaways from Luc’s contribution:  1️⃣ In Africa, investing with intentionality to support economic development helps improve both living conditions and the carbon efficiency of activities.  2️⃣ There can be no sustainable development without strengthening women’s place. Amethis takes gender into account in all investments, using the 2X Challenge framework.  3️⃣ Aligning financial and non-financial considerations involves adapting remuneration mechanisms. For Amethis Fund III, we are launching our first ESG and impact-linked carry mechanism, which makes 20% of our carry dependent on the achievement of environmental and social objectives.    🙏 Many thanks to Private Equity International and its teams for this insightful event.    New Private Markets Christopher Wagland Boris Petrovic Georgia Long Laurent Demey Raphaël Reynaudi Henri Nikitits   #ImpactInvestorGS24 #NewPrivateMarkets #ImpactInvestor #Impactinvesting #EdRPE #Inequality #WomenEmpowerment #PrivateEquity #Africa

Total Official Support for Sustainable Development. ·       TOSSD is a new statistical framework for monitoring official resources and private finance mobilized by official interventions in support of sustainable development of developing countries. TOSSD has the potential to deliver greater transparency in the financing of sustainable development, including both concessional and non-concessional resources from a broad scope of providers, north and south, including multilateral organizations. It measures both cross-border flows received by developing countries (Pillar One) and International Public Goods (IPGs) of benefit to developing countries (Pillar Two). ·        Examining more than $300 billion in reported flows between 2019 and 2021 from 106 providers, ActionAid Italy, Oxfam International, and AidWatch Canada have identified trends and challenges in TOSSD through a series of five Briefing Papers and a Summary of Key Issues. ·        The International Forum on TOSSD (IFT) is the governance body for TOSSD. It aims to maintain and improve the TOSSD statistical standard, collect and analyse TOSSD data, and promote TOSSD and the use of TOSSD data within governments and internationally. Membership of the Forum is open to all countries, territories and intergovernmental organisations. ·       For more: https://lnkd.in/dFqck7xa
