Widening SDG Investment Gap in Developing Countries per Sector

In 2022, international investment in critical SDG sectors such as infrastructure and energy showed growth in developing countries.

Despite this growth, the gap has widened significantly driven by insufficient investment and escalating needs.

More than half of the gap is made up by developing countries’ energy investment needs sitting at US $2.2 trillion per year.

This underscores the urgency of mobilizing increased support and resources to bridge the SDG investment gap and accelerate progress toward a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
