On 30 June – 3 July, the UN’s 4th International Conference on Financing for Development is taking place in Seville. Sweden is participating with a broad delegation headed by State Secretary Diana Janse. The aim of the Conference is to agree on a new global framework for how sustainable development will be financed – the so-called Sevilla Commitment. The Conference is an important opportunity to strengthen the implementation of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, and to demonstrate that the countries of the world are able to address global challenges together through cooperation, despite a difficult geopolitical context.
