12-29 September 2017 United Nations, New York
From 12 to 29 September 2017, the OECD will take an active part in the 72nd Session of the General Assembly Of The United Nations. We look forward to engaging with members and partners on the rolling out of Agenda 2030. We will share the results of our ongoing efforts in support the Sustainable Development Goals: we have a new study on where OECD countries stand on achieving the SDGs; proposals on how they can support developing countries with data and statistics to monitor gender equality, harness innovative financing for development, or use technology for development results; and new evidence of the role of philanthropy in pursuit of the SDGs.

Sustainable Development Impact Summit hosted by the World Economic Forum. A fourth sector of the economy has been growing amidst the traditional private, public, and nonprofit sectors—consisting of “for-benefit” organizations that harness business to drive social and environmental impact. This workshop brings together leaders from all sectors who are ready to scale business as a force for good. The goal is to identify concrete opportunities for collaboration; driving policy, investment, entrepreneurship, job creation, and trillions of dollars of growth in the fourth sector globally by 2030.
