The U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are increasingly recognized as the most important calls to action for humanity in the coming decade. The funding gap to achieve the SDGs is in the trillions of dollars annually, and consensus is building that the private sector and capital markets need to step up to fill this void. The session discussed the key motivators and requirements for increased private sector involvement in support of the SDGs.
