Global Partnerships
The recognition that the SDGs apply to everyone and that everyone has a role to play in their delivery opens exciting opportunities for exploring new partnerships. In this sense, there is a renewed emphasis across the United Nations on partnering with responsible civil society organizations and businesses to deliver sustainable development on the ground. As the Addis Ababa Action Agenda noted, we must focus on unlocking the transformative potential [of the private sector and invite] businesses to apply their creativity and innovation toward solving sustainable development challenges and to engage as partners in the development process”. The United Nations General Assembly Week 78th Session presents an opportunity for multi-lateral Actions and Commitments in partnership with the private sector.
The global partnerships platform invites all to submit ideas, actions or commitments. A compendium of those partnerships will be made available on our 2030 Action network leading up to the next year’s Summit of the Future in September of 2024. Submit at partnerships@2030action.com.
Please visit our Partnership page. To date, 13 flagship partnerships have been registered.
UN and business collaboration is not new, but the models of partnerships have been evolving. New patterns of development involve partnerships and alliances shaped by common interests and shared purpose, and bounded by clear principles that encourage autonomy and synergy.
A call for transformational partnerships to drive systemic change, in particular partnerships and social mobilization models that have the capacity to transform the ways in which the UN, civil society, governments, and other stakeholders work with business to secure sustained and rapid realization of development goals.
