New markets are emerging rapidly due to megatrends such as climate change\, supply chain realignment\, and global health risks. There is a growing understanding – especially by business leaders ahead of the curve – that it is not enough for companies to react to these trends. They must take a proactive role in shaping a better world for this and future generations. The businesses that understand this challenge and act will be a step ahead. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a powerful north star for improving our world\, laying out collectively where we need to go and how to get there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Network USA’s first in-person event post-COVID\, we will bring together US companies during the UN General Assembly who actively support the UN Secretary General’s call to align their strategies and operations with universal principles.

We need to act to change this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a significant gap between this growing awareness and tangible actions that will result in better outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the annual SDG financing gap to $3.7 trillion in 2020\, up from $2.5 trillion in 2019 (OECD) – a drop in the ocean compared to the claimed ESG investment universe. It is certain that in the current landscape of small\, separate sustainable finance initiatives\, often focused in high- and middle-income countries\, we will not deliver the change at scale needed across the financial system globally. A transformational shift in how we think about capital\, the role of capital in society\, and the private sector is needed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this special fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes the Director of UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub\, Marcos Neto\, to discuss the innovative instruments for attracting and disbursing significantly greater amounts of impact capital and exponentially growing the business/finance sector’s social and environmental impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will discuss\, among other topics: \n\n\n\nA new normal where enterprises’ role moves from maximizing profits to maximizing economic\, social\, and environmental impacts or\, to put it even more ambitiously\, our collective human and planetary wellbeingInstruments that enable businesses and investors to continue to be profitable and become more equitable economic models fit for the futureUNDP’s relationship to countries and the private sector in this journey\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Neto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos Athias Neto joined UNDP in February 2013 and has since led UNDP’s global work on private sector development and foundations\, first at UNDP’s headquarters in New York and then\, from November 2014\, as head of the Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD). In April 2019\, Marcos returned to New York to lead the establishment and management of UNDP’s new Finance Sector Hub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos led the development of UNDP’s new private sector strategy and its offers on SDG Finance. He co-chairs the executive boards of the Business Call To Action and the Connecting Business Initiative. Apart from his role at UNDP\, Marcos also serves on the Supervisory Boards of CARE International and the Museum of Tomorrow International. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past 25 years\, Marcos has been a leader in sustainable development\, poverty eradication and multi-stakeholder partnership building. He is a passionate advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to joining UNDP\, Marcos spent 17 years at CARE International. During his tenure at CARE International\, Marcos served in numerous roles including Regional Manager for Asia and Latin America at CARE UK\, Executive Director of CARE Brasil\, and Program Director in Central America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcos has lived and worked in Central and South America\, Europe and the United States and has also worked in Asia\, Middle East and Africa.
