• Closing

The High-level Dialogue represents an important platform for Member States and other stakeholders to discuss creative solutions to the current challenges and to advance the means of implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The High-level Dialogue will be a one-day meeting held back-to-back with the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit, and will feature the participation of leaders from government, representatives of the private sector and civil society, international financial institutions, including Multilateral Development Banks, academia, and other relevant actors.  

Despite progress since the adoption of the Addis Agenda, growing uncertainties and risks threaten development progress and sustainable finance prospects. As global challenges are more integrated, responses become increasingly fragmented. Facing this context, it is more important than ever to bring financing sustainable development to the center of the international agenda. The High-level Dialogue will aim to renew global commitment to financing at the highest political level. It will serve as a UN call for collective action to energize growth and tackle challenges in the global economy, encourage public and private investment to align with the 2030 Agenda, and promote new and innovative initiatives that target gaps in financing sustainable development.
