This is a $2trn increase on 2021 levels. The report cites ongoing challenges including the Russian war in Ukraine and rampant global inflation as reasons for stalled progress against the Global Goals, but warns that chronic underfunding is the main issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the global challenges shaking the world over the past few years, we\u2019ve been running to stand still in terms of making progress on the SDGs. But fundamentally the solutions exist to deliver the go\u200b\u200bals, and achieving the goals is within reach. Now we need to target efforts and resources to where the impact is greatest,\u201d Force for Good\u2019s chairman Ketan Patel said.<\/p>\n<p>The report notes that policy implementation is the most critical factor to bridging the finance gap \u2013 accounting for nearly a third of the underlying targets, but that private sector investment can also act as a catalyst. The report identifies 15 initiatives that if scale and implemented globally could address 70% of the SDGs. These include sweeping regional policy packages that match the EU\u2019s Green Deal policies and the Inflation Reduction Act in the US, new financial mechanisms like environmental impact bonds and carbon pricing mechanisms and new private sector business models that aim to tackle systemic issues from waste to poverty and biodiversity loss.<\/p>\n<p>The findings come off the back of a new report fromEarth4All, an international team of economists and scientists, in collaboration with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), to deliver a five-point plan for the SDGs. The \u201cSDGs for All\u201d report emphasises that policymakers have the potential to significantly advance SDG implementation by the original 2030 deadline and beyond by enacting five \u201cextraordinary turnarounds\u201d that break away from current trends.<\/p>\n<p>The key action levers include boosting investments and implementing higher taxation for the rich, reforming the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with a focus on Special Drawing Rights (SDR) allocation and providing sovereign debt relief for low-income countries. However, under the plan the SDGs would not be achieved until 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) revealed that global progress on SDGs has been \u201cstatic\u201d for the third year in a row, posing a threat to the world\u2019s decade-long efforts on the Global Goals. The main event is an afternoon of free-to-attend interactive webinars, the Sustainable Development Action Sessions. Tune in on Thursday 21 September 2023 to hear from experts at organisations including the UN Global Compact, Velux Group and SailGP.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/sdg-funding-gap-swells-to-137trn\/\">edie.net<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/sdg-funding-gap-swells-to-137trn\/\">SDG funding gap swells to $137trn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2313,575,1716,4070,11507],"class_list":["post-116896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cup","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-funding","tag-sdg","tag-swell"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116896\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
