There is a $4 trillion funding gap standing between the world and the #GlobalGoals, more than half of it tied to the #CleanEnergy transition. Emerging economies still receive less than 15 per cent of global sustainable investment and finance flows. At today's SDG Investment Forum, the case was clear: businesses should not only receive blended finance, they should help design it, with companies at the table from the start. #UNGA81 #SustainableFinance #SDGs #SDGInvestmentForum

The private sector is crucial to advancing a more resilient maritime sector, but cannot do it alone. That’s why this morning, the UN @GlobalCompact convened for the High-Level Meeting on Maritime Governance and Decarbonisation during the 81st UN General Assembly. Together, business, finance and Governments meet to unlock investment and reinforce the critical role of maritime governance in supporting global trade, energy security and sustainable development. With stronger public-private collaboration, enabling regulatory frameworks, resilient infrastructure and continued innovation, the voyage ahead is clear. Through initiatives such as the Maritime Just Transition Task Force, the Global Compact is working with partners across sectors and regions to advance practical solutions for a safer, more sustainable ocean economy. Together, we can build a maritime future that is cleaner, safer, more competitive and capable of supporting sustainable growth for generations to come. #UNGA81 #OceanEconomy #MaritimeDecarbonization #MaritimeSector

The UN #PrivateSectorForum brought together business and government leaders to identify solutions for a clean and just energy transition. The task ahead is clear: align business, government and finance so that clean energy can be deployed at the speed and scale required. #UNGA81

The business case for Africa is changing. Africa is not simply a potential market of the future, but a hub for innovation, investment and strategic partnerships today, with a $3 trillion market opportunity and a growing role in shaping global growth. Today marked the opening of @GlobalAfricaBiz’s flagship event, Unstoppable Africa, co-convened with the @_AfricanUnion on the margins of the 81st UN General Assembly. Pleased to have Secretary-General @antonioguterres and Deputy Secretary-General @AminaJMohammed attending our opening session, on the importance of investing in African business and expanding the capital, talent and growing economies already present in the continent. Looking forward to two days of meaningful dialogue and collaboration. #GABI #UnstoppableAfrica #AfricaBusiness #UNGA81

No single institution can unlock Africa's growth potential. It takes businesses, governments, and the UN systems working toward the same agenda. That's the premise @GlobalAfricaBiz was built on five years ago. And it's what Unstoppable Africa 2026 puts into practice - bringing African and global business leaders, governments, investors, and entrepreneurs into the same room to move from conversation to delivery. This year's theme, "Powering Business, Scaling Economies, Shaping the Future," reflects where that momentum needs to go next: stronger partnerships, greater investment, and tangible impact, with African voices leading the way.
