Several UN entities have produced a joint statement that puts forward their vision to create a sustainability reporting framework, which is fit-for-purpose and supportive of globally agreed ambitions and goals.

The statement highlights the need for a holistic and forward-looking approach to assessing enterprise value, which would enable a company and its investors to account for uncertainty linked to sustainability risks and opportunities.

Convened by the President of ECOSOC, the 8th biennial High-level meeting of the DCF will take place on 14-15 March 2023. As the UN’s inclusive global platform to discuss trends and progress in international development cooperation, the 2023 DCF will address frontier issues and emerging challenges and refine ideas for scaling up high-quality and high-impact development cooperation for immediate term recovery and long term resilience building.
