Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2025 to Foster Collaboration on Shared Challenges
By World Economic Forum
More than 1,000 global leaders, from government, business, international organizations, civil society and academia will gather from 22 to 26 September in New York for the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2025 (SDIM25). The meetings, taking place on the margins of the 80th United Nations General Assembly and Global Goals Week, will serve to accelerate renewed progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
At a pivotal moment for the global economy, one marked by profound transformations – from slow growth to complex trade dynamics to unprecedented speed on technological advancements – the Forum will convene its long-standing communities of purpose to help make progress on shared priorities.
The multilateral system is in flux, with the future of multilateralism uncertain and the latest data suggesting that only 17% of the SDGs are on track to be achieved by 2030. Nearly half are showing minimal or moderate progress and over one third have stalled or even regressed. As the world faces increasing numerous crises from geopolitics to economic growth within our planetary boundaries, SDIM25 aims to facilitate action by convening leaders from across sectors and regions to drive inclusive and sustainable growth at speed and scale.
In the context of geoeconomic uncertainty, the meetings will also serve as a critical platform for leaders to engage in dialogues on improving outcomes for people, planet and economies.
70 top government officials, including 22 leaders from international organizations and over 500 decision-makers from business will participate in person and engage in carefully curated discussions on new ways to accelerate sustainable development.
