Financing the sustainable development goals: the critical role of risk and resilience
This document highlights the critical need to appreciate the role that shocks and stresses play in development, and the role of risk and resilience considerations in all forms of finance - public and private, national and international - in achieving long-lasting sustainability.
The document builds on the results of a technical workshop held in May 2015 where 20 external experts joined a UNDP team. It presents a set of messages targeted at decision-makers on financing for development and it is part of an ongoing project by UNDP and the Government of Switzerland.
