Transforming our world

By accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and 2030 Agenda means getting the right economic, social and environmental policies in place and taking them to scale as quickly as possible.

The United Nations Joint Susutainable Development Goals Fund is a catalyst of cutting-edge solutions to accelerate sustainable development. The Fund has mobilized a total of US$ 430 million from 17 Member States since 2019, unlocking US$ 6 billion for SDG financing, impacting over 200 million people across 125 countries.  

The Joint SDG Fund stands as the UN’s premier innovative funding mechanism, strategically designed to catalyze profound policy transformations and ignite the strategic investments essential for realigning the world on course to achieve the SDGs. (Stated in the United Nations Secretary-General's Funding Compact 2.0, May 2024) 

The Joint SDG Fund serves as a practical implementation mechanism for key commitments outlined in the Pact for the Future,  adopted by world leaders at the Summit of the Future in September 2024. The Pact represents a multilateral commitment to ensure international institutions are equipped to navigate an increasingly complex global landscape while reaffirming commitment to the principles of the United Nations Charter and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
