The challenge of finance is at the heart of the current sustainable development crisis. Yet financing also holds the key to turn our fortunes around. Only with a sustained investment push in the #2030Agenda and ambitious reform of the international financial architecture can we hope to achieve them in time, according to Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs. Find out why the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), held in Spain next year, is an opportunity that we cannot afford to waste: https://lnkd.in/dpyU2b4C
