Long-term

Long-term investments, including foreign direct investment, are needed in critical sectors, especially in developing countries. These include sustainable energy, infrastructure and transport, as well as information and communications technologies. To achieve all goals by 2030, governments, companies, administrators, citizens and organisations must work together. This mainly concerns technology, knowledge transfer, trade, data, policy coherence and financial flows. A successful sustainable development agenda requires inclusive partnerships at the global, regional, national and local level that are built upon principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre.
