Seville, Spain | 30 June – 3 July, 2025
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are off track. Decades of progress on poverty and hunger have stalled, and in some cases, been thrown into reverse. Many developing economies are mired in debt, with financing challenges preventing the urgently needed investment push in the SDGs.
But amid these challenges there lies opportunity. The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) provides a unique opportunity to reform financing at all levels, including to support reform of the international financial architecture.
The International Conferences on Financing for Development are the only space where leaders from all governments, along with international and regional organizations, financial and trade institutions, businesses, civil society and the UN System unite at the highest levels, fostering stronger international cooperation.
“Financing for development is a transformative resource that can reduce poverty and hunger and provide billions of people with the opportunity of a better future. It is also an essential tool to bring a measure of justice to the global economy and help to bridge the deep divisions that afflict our world.”
