Governments and industry partners must step up financing for sustainable development to cushion vulnerable communities from poverty, climate crisis, hunger and resource-based conflicts, officials told a forum held in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi on Thursday.

Kenya is hosting the Annual Policy Dialogue 2025 on Financing for Sustainable Development themed "Driving Sustainable Futures for All." Convened by Club de Madrid, an international not-for-profit governance lobby, the two-day forum brought together former heads of state and government, policymakers, representatives of multilateral lenders, the private sector, academia and civil society to chart a new roadmap for financing the sustainability agenda.
