A High-Level Dialogue on the Future of Sustainable Development
The UNGA 2026 Side Event is designed to provide a platform for meaningful conversations around the challenges and opportunities shaping sustainable development across borders.
As countries, businesses, institutions and communities continue to confront economic, social and environmental challenges, the event will focus attention on the importance of collaboration, responsible leadership and innovative approaches to creating lasting prosperity.
The theme, “Beyond Borders, Building Prosperity That Lasts,” reflects the growing need for solutions that extend beyond national boundaries and address shared global priorities.
Connecting Global Priorities With Local Action
The dialogue is expected to explore how governments, private-sector organisations, civil society and other stakeholders can work together to advance the Sustainable Development Agenda.
Discussions will highlight the importance of:
- Sustainable and inclusive economic growth
- Cross-border cooperation and partnerships
- Responsible leadership and governance
- Innovation and investment for sustainable development
- Social and economic inclusion
- Long-term approaches to global prosperity
- Partnerships that support the Sustainable Development Goals
- Building resilient communities and institutions
Bringing Stakeholders Together
The Global Reputation Forum aims to use the side event as an opportunity to encourage constructive dialogue among leaders and stakeholders from different sectors and regions.
By creating space for diverse perspectives, the event seeks to strengthen conversations around practical solutions to some of the world’s most pressing development challenges.
The organisers believe that sustainable prosperity requires collaboration across governments, businesses, institutions and communities, particularly at a time when many global challenges increasingly cross national and regional boundaries.
