The 2024 ECOSOC Financing for Development (FfD) Forum will be held from 22 to 25 April 2024 in the Trusteeship Council, at UN Headquarters, New York. Civil society organizations and other stakeholders are key to inclusive, multi-stakeholder dialogues 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.
At the midpoint of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), more than half of the SDG targets have seen weak or insufficient progress while nearly a third are stalled or reversing. Development finance is more needed than ever amid conflicts, humanitarian disasters, extreme weather events and economic upheavals.
At the United Nations, governments have set goals and targets for financing sustainable development, notably the Addis Ababa Action Agenda adopted in 2015, which provides a new global framework for financing sustainable development.
Please note that if you are unable to attend the Forum, the Forum will also be livestreamed on UN Web TV.
For any questions, please contact the Financing for Sustainable Development Office at ffdforum@un.org.
