  • UN Chief Guterres urges leaders to 'get resources flowing' at aid conference in Spain

Dozens of world leaders and more than 4,000 representatives from businesses, civil society and financial institutions are gathering in the city of Seville for the June 30-July 3 conference to seek fresh impetus for the crisis-hit aid sector.

UN Secretary-General Antonio told delegates at the opening of the conference that two-thirds of United Nations sustainable development goals set for 2030 were "lagging" and more than $4.0 trillion of annual investment would be needed to achieve them. He urged the international community to "change course" and "repair and rev up the engine of development to accelerate investment" in "a world shaken by inequalities, climate chaos and raging conflicts".
