Since 2008, the UN Secretary-General has convened the Private Sector Forum during the opening session of the General Assembly in order to bring the voice of the private sector to inter-governmental debates on key topics. This year the Forum, convened in the greater context of the Secretary-General’s Sustainable Finance Roadmap, will bring together 50 Chief Executives, Heads of State and Government and leaders of UN Agencies, Funds and Programmes to discuss ambitious actions and investments to drive progress and investment towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
