The 79th UN General Assembly takes place from September 22 – 30 in New York City, bringing together world leaders to tackle the new agenda for peace, global governance, financing for development, digital cooperation, and future generations. It also marks a crucial milestone in the global effort to accelerate progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Driving private sector investment is crucial for sustainable development. Meeting this challenge and focusing on critical issues such as climate business, financial inclusion, mobilization, and equity are priorities for IFC at this year's events. Event details, livestreams and other relevant information will be displayed on this page.
