Reimagining financing for the SDGs - from filling gaps to shaping finance - UN DESA Policy Brief No. 170 (Special Issue)

It calls for reshaping the financing architecture by placing SDGs at the center of planning, using public investment pipelines to guide private investments, embedding SDG-driven conditionalities in public-private partnerships, and effectively utilizing existing public funds.
