At the United Nations’ Summit of the Future, Member States agreed to an action-oriented outcome document known as the Pact for the Future. One of the key issues highlighted in the Pact is the need for reforming outdated global institutions, including the international financial architecture, to turbocharge implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) will play a major role in pushing forward this long-term vision as it serves as secretariat for the fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), taking place in Spain in June 2025. The conference’s second preparatory meeting will happen in New York in December 2024.
To support Member States in their efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the goals of the Pact for the Future amid interconnected crises, UN DESA will host the Global Policy Dialogue “Financing for the Future” on 2 December 2024 as part of the “Financing for Development Dialogues: from Evidence to Action” programme of events to engage academia in the preparations for FfD4. The “Financing for the Future” dialogue will feature an interactive exchange among experts on some of the big issues on financing for development, with the aim to enhance awareness and engagement of the academic community in the FfD processes, especially related to the key commitments made in the Pact for the Future and their linkage to FfD4 and another major UN conference in 2025 — the second World Summit for Social Development.
The event will engage members of the UN High-level Advisory Board (HLAB) on Economic and Social Affairs who are renowned experts in the field of financing for development.
The event is made possible by the United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund.
