About

Promoting investment for sustainable development; targeting institutional investors

The SDG Investors Partnership, initiated by the UNCTAD Investment and Enterprise Division, aims to foster partnerships among institutional investors, governments and international organizations to facilitate institutional investment in key SDG sectors, in particular in developing countries. Its work is guided by the Sustainable Investment Council.

The Initiative, in partnership with all stakeholders, seeks to create an enabling environment for sustainability-oriented investment by institutional investors through evidence-based research, dissemination of best practices and international standards, consensus building and policy advocacy on strategic issues that are critical for facilitating institutional investment in sustainable development.

The UNCTAD Investment and Enterprise Division is the focal point in the United Nations System for investment, enterprise and development. Its mission is to promote investment and enterprise for sustainable development and prosperity for all.

Sustainable Investment Council

The UNCTAD Sustainable Investment Council is composed of high-level executives from leading asset owners, institutional investors, industry associations, and representatives of governments and other stakeholders. The Council provides guidance and advice on the strategic direction of the work of UNCTAD’s SDG.

Investors Partnership and the UN Global Sustainable Finance Observatory. Through these initiatives, the Council helps the UN deliver its mandate on sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs.
