The global economic outlook remains fragile amid a highly challenging environment. Countries are facing difficult economic policy trade-offs and recent shocks are threatening to further reverse progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Both immediate and longer-term measures are urgently needed to effectively finance responses to multiple overlapping crises while scaling up essential investments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 2023 FfD Forum will continue to provide a platform for inclusive, multi-stakeholder dialogue to address the current global challenges and advance policies for financing long-term sustainable development priorities, in line with its mandate laid out in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
