SDG Investor Map for India
Context:
Invest India and the United Nations Development Program have released a Sustainable Development Goal Investor Map for India. There are 18 Investment Potential Zones.
Key Highlights:
These investment prospects are part of the six crucial sustainable development objectives initiated by the United Nations.
The map would allow for influences that will help India to meet its sustainable development goals. It will encourage India to understand how it can reduce the SDG funding gap in the region.
About SDG investor map:
The map has been established with six priorities for sustainable growth, enabling sectors such as health care, education, financial services, agriculture and related practises, green energy and the alternative and sustainable climate.
Ten out of 18 listed Investment Potential Areas have active venture capital and private equity operations.
The funding deficit for sustainable development priorities has expanded by USD 400 billion as a result of the covid-19 pandemic in developed countries. And before Covid 19, there was a deficit of USD 2.5 trillion per year in the funding gap.
About Sustainable development goals:
The priorities of sustainable development have been set by the United Nations to resolve the immediate political, environmental and economic problems facing the world.
Since India is home to 17 percent of the world population, it has a major role to play in the declaration of these objectives.
These objectives were introduced at the 2015 United Nations General Assembly.
There are 17 sustainable development goals that seek to end land, fix climate change and address inequality.
