United Nations Development Program (UNDP): 2025 Dialogue on Public Finance and SDGs
January 29—31, 2025. Columbia University, New York. Hosted by the Government of Finland, the Government of Norway, UNDP, Columbia University, and partners. The global community faces unprecedented challenges in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developing countries have historically struggled to fund the SDGs in a sustainable way, while elites have captured the benefits of growth, which has exacerbated inequality and left many citizens feeling disempowered. During this conference, participants will have the opportunity to attend sessions related to urgent issues related to public financing. The financing landscape has become increasingly precarious. Developing countries face growing debt servicing costs, projected to surge by over 50% from $26 billion in 2022 to $40 billion by 2025. With only 17% of assessable SDG targets on track, achieving sustainable development requires a fundamental transformation of approach. In that context, the 2025 Dialogue on Public Finance and SDGs will address the interconnections between public finance and development outcomes by focusing on these main objectives: 1) Identifying innovative public finance approaches to accelerate SDR progress. 2) Facilitating knowledge exchange on integrated public finance strategies for sustainable development. 3) Developing recommendations for the upcoming Finance for Development conference. 4) Fostering new partnerships among governments, international organizations, and stakeholders to enhance effectiveness. These conversations provide opportunities for transformative action. Joseph E. Stiglitz will deliver a keynote address. Martín Guzmán will participate in a panel about public financing moderated by Anya Schiffrin (Columbia University, SIPA), alongside Arthur Grimes (Victoria University of Wellington), Elina Pylkkänen, (Under Secretary, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, Finland), Caren Grown (Brookings Institution). |
