Regional Development Finance: Progress and Challenges

With less than a decade left to implement Agenda 2030 and agree on more ambitious emissions targets to prevent a climate meltdown, neither multilateral financial institutions nor private capital markets are providing the scale of financial support needed by developing countries to meet these goals.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Reduced Inequalities
