A Message from the Secretary-General
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda has a powerful vision, but we must ensure financing is sufficient. That means making creative use of digital technologies that are revolutionizing the financial markets. This Task Force will point the way forward.

From the bottom of my heart I believe that even though technological advancements and sustainable development sometimes feel like they are moving in different directions – we cannot retreat from our duty to fight for a better world.
Co-Chair Achim Steiner (Administrator, United Nations Development Programme)
The digital revolution has transformed global financial systems. This transformation should be one that puts inclusive sustainable development at the center.
