#FFD4 provides an opportunity to advance reforms of the international financial architecture—from debt relief to curbing illicit financial flows—ensuring that debt supports, rather than hinders, sustainable development. Listen to expert voices on financing for development. https://lnkd.in/eY43ZsRm #FinancingOurFuture

Debt can drive sustainable development. No country has developed without it. But only when the #debt is fair, sustainable and inclusive. Today, more than 3.4 billion people live in countries that spend more on debt payments than on #health, #education and #ClimateAction. Developing countries pay up to 12 times more to borrow than developed countries. To resolve the global debt crisis, we must establish an inclusive debt restructuring mechanism that ensures public debt sustainability. Let’s make debt work for development, not against it. #FinancingOurFuture #FFD4

Education is more than a classroom: it’s a lifeline. Yet today, nearly half of all refugee children, 52 million, are out of school, denied their basic human right to learn and grow. Winter break may be over for some, but for too many the school bell never rings. Let’s change that: a world where every child goes to school is a world worth fighting for. Listen to the #SDGAwards alumni Suvarna Raj and her story of hope in action. Visit the Parallel Realities Pavilion at the #TriennaleMilano #24thInternationalExhibition and be part of a global conversation on art, inequality, and the futures we dare to create: https://lnkd.in/dMP3hsnQ #Inequalities #ActNow
