Description

Emerging economies across the Global South are facing the triple challenge of debt, climate change, and biodiversity loss. However, these challenges also present a unique opportunity to adopt Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) investment strategies that can propel these nations toward a sustainable and resilient future. By focusing on SDG investments, countries can aim for increased GDP, higher income per capita, and the creation of tens of millions of jobs, while ensuring environmental sustainability and fostering collaboration between governments, businesses, and local communities. Achieving this necessitates the development of innovative financing mechanisms, the promotion of public-private partnerships, and the creation of an enabling environment for investors. The critical question is: how can governments and investors collaborate to ensure that the economies of the Global South can capitalise on SDG-focused investments to generate economic growth, job creation, and environmental preservation?
