Policy Specialist, SDG Finance at UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub - , New York, United States
Financing the SDGs requires significant transformations within the global financial system, and within entities that own, manage or regulate financial flows and transactions. Fundamentally related to effective governance, financing the SDGs requires changes in the ways public and private actors interact with each other across the economic, social and environmental spheres. In order to address these demands, UNDP established the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH) in April 2019, aggregating UNDP's existing work and expertise on financing the SDGs. The SFH offers a comprehensive package of methods and tools in support of the organization's SDG Integration offer to enable governments, the private sector and international financial institutions to accelerate financing for the SDGs. From supporting national strategies that deepen public-private collaboration to developing global Standards for Private Equity funds, SDG Bonds and Enterprises, and investor maps for SDG-enabling investment at global, regional and national levels, the SFH brings the best of UNDP to accelerate progress of the SDGs. The SFH currently offers four flagship initiatives, SDG Impact, Integrated National Frameworks (INFFs), Insurance and Risk Facility, and Digital Financing, to seize opportunities and address bottlenecks in scaling up finance for the SDGs.
