Their primary mission was to accelerate progress towards achieving the <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs). However, despite the commitment, only 15% of the 17 SDGs are on track, with many regressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five major themes emerged from the SDIM23:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Addressing the Financing Gap<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders highlighted the need to boost financing for sustainable development, especially in emerging markets. The UN Secretary-General highlighted the SDG financing gap estimated at $3.9 trillion annually, with developing countries facing high borrowing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/buluttan-cdn.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/weather-blog\/2023\/12\/tiny-tree-on-coins-1024x536.webp\" alt=\"tiny tree on coins\" class=\"wp-image-1275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buluttan-cdn.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/weather-blog\/2023\/12\/tiny-tree-on-coins-1024x536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/buluttan-cdn.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/weather-blog\/2023\/12\/tiny-tree-on-coins-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/buluttan-cdn.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/weather-blog\/2023\/12\/tiny-tree-on-coins-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/buluttan-cdn.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/weather-blog\/2023\/12\/tiny-tree-on-coins.webp 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Building Partnerships and Collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaboration between governments, businesses, and civil society was emphasized as crucial for achieving the SDGs.
