Mobilizing the Private Sector for the SDGs and the VNRs

Overview

Recognizing that the SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation, the United Nations Global Compact — the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative — can be a valuable partner to Member States in their efforts to achieve a whole-of-society-approach to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Global Compact side-event on the margins of the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) will showcase concrete examples and lessons learned from the collaboration between Global Compact Local Networks and Governments at the national level. Join us to learn how the Global Compact can support Governments, UN Resident Coordinators and UN agencies mobilize the private sector for the SDGs and national development goals, with a focus on the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs).
