Webinar
The world is currently fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and its devastating humanitarian and economic impact. Countries are overwhelmed with the additional burden that the outbreak is imposing on public health systems and national budgets.
The effects of the global crisis will be long-lasting, but the crisis is also an opportunity. The shifts in the global financial system is a chance to set the world on track for a sustainable recovery and ensure there is financing for sustainable development, for everyone. The private sector has an important role to play, in solid collaboration with the public sector.
The Global Investors for Sustainable Development, GISD, is an initiative launched by the UN Secretary-General in 2019, with inspiration from the Swedish alliance SISD. In conjunction with their global digital GISD conference in Stockholm, Sida together with UN DESA is organizing a global online conference on how to build back better from Covid-19 pandemic through long-term investment in sustainable development.
This special Development Talks public session will explore the role of investors in scaling up long-term investment for a sustainable recovery. How can investors, development actors, and the UN work together to support reaching the 2030 Agenda, in a post-pandemic world?
