Debt for SDGs

Sovereign debt holds great potential for funding countries’ SDG and climate targets – including blue bonds, green bonds, social bonds and Sukuks – provided they do not exacerbate existing debt burdens.  

UNDP works closely with governments to support the establishment of sustainability-linked bond frameworks, obtain independent third-party review and monitor the use of bond proceeds against the SDGs.
