When money flows into the SDGs, humanity moves forward.
The Joint SDG Fund’s Prospectus showcases ten transformative investment opportunities, built upon the Fund’s existing and ongoing investments. These examples, across digitalization, food systems transformation, blue economy and green energy transitions, provide a snapshot of scaled-up investment opportunities valued at $850 million with the potential to unlock $12.4 billion in additional finance. These opportunities exemplify a global pipeline of investments, derisked by the Joint SDG Fund, to bridge the SDG financing gap and deliver robust and measurable impact coupled with attractive financial returns.
