Fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals is an ambitious but necessary challenge that requires the leverage of private investment through policies and innovative financial instruments. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that governments are critically under-prepared to tackle the systemic nature of risk and are underinvesting in and under-prioritizing prevention and resilience.
It is essential to identify and map success cases and high-impact investment opportunities for theachievement of the SDGs in LAC.The proper identification and design of these financial solutions requires a joint effort from all actors involved to seek and scale up such solutions. We have eight years left to achieve results to continue protecting our society and future generations.
