The Post-2030 Development Dilemma

When the SDG scoreboard resets in 2030, the real test begins - finding the funds to tackle climate shocks, digital divides, and widening inequality without plunging the Global South deeper into debt. The annual funding shortfall already tops US$ 4 trillion, while aid stagnates and borrowing costs climb. To keep ambition alive, the next development compact must rewrite the rules of global finance—leveraging multilateral balance sheets, private capital, and home-grown revenue in equal measure. This session will explore bold ideas, unlikely coalitions, and accountability hacks that can turn lofty goals into bankable projects from Jakarta to Johannesburg.

What approaches could turn today’s debt burdens and financing gaps into springboards for resilience and sustainable growth?
How must multilateral development banks reinvent their mandates, capital bases, and risk appetite to lead the next era of development finance?
How do we ensure the next development compact is led by the Global South, not just designed for it?
