Financing the SDGs to build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and the Pacific
The 2021 issue of ESCAP’s Financing for Development Series, Financing the SDGs to build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and the Pacific, reviews a range of financing instruments, strategies and mechanisms that can help Asia-Pacific economies recover from the pandemic and effectively pursue the SDGs. In particular, the report takes a “deep dive” on the role of innovative climate and digital finance strategies to address the financing gaps and support the achievement of the SDGs, and it suggests key regulatory and solution-oriented policy actions that can help scaling up financing in support of the SDGs.
