Private Sector Forum
23 September 2024 | 12:30 A.M.
– 2:45 P.M. | UN Headquarters

Hosted by the UN Secretary-General and organized by the UN Global Compact, this exclusive invitation-only event, held as the luncheon of the UN Summit of the Future, explores pressing issues and policy barriers impacting sustainability today—and opportunities for tomorrow—including SDG acceleration; geopolitical disruption; sustainable finance; and digital transformation. 

Building off the 2023 SDG Summit and corporate commitments through the UN Global Compact Forward Faster platform, this year’s Private Sector Forum will act as an important connection point between the private and public sectors. Effective solutions require this dialogue to bring innovation, investment and influence to solutions for pressing challenges. Together, Heads of State, CEOs and UN leaders will work towards driving a resilient and sustainable future.

Access to the Private Sector Forum is only available to select Chief Executive Officers from highly engaged UN Global Compact Participants (for example Participants who have signed on to the Forward Faster Initiative). Some non-participant organizations will be invited on a case-by-case basis.
