Financing sustainable development in emerging markets
The 2030 deadline for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is fast approaching but overall progress has been slow.
Emerging markets are on average further away from meeting the SDGs than developed nations. One of the most significant challenges is access to sufficient public and private sector financing that will enable companies to play a role in implementing a just transition.
This webinar in partnership with the Financial Times and Standard Chartered explored how corporations from emerging markets can finance a fairer future with progress towards their SDGs through more effective financing. The discussion also drew on how supporting inclusive economic expansion is also an opportunity for business growth.
