<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: The report analyzes global trends in international investment in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-related sectors, revealing that growth has largely stalled since 2015 except for renewable energy, which remains the main driver of progress. Preliminary 2024 data shows a decline in the number of projects, particularly in least developed countries (LDCs), where investment is projected to fall by over 25%, mainly in infrastructure and agrifood systems. While the total value of projects rose slightly due to a few large deals, sectors such as water and sanitation (WASH) and agrifood have seen sharp declines, and regional disparities persist, with Africa and small island developing States most affected. Foreign private investors sponsor only a fraction of projects, and multilateral development banks play a key role in mitigating risks and attracting capital. China's Belt and Road Initiative continues to drive SDG investments in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, especially in social infrastructure and renewable energy. Overall, the report underscores the urgent need to mobilize more international private investment to close persistent gaps and accelerate progress toward the SDGs</dc:description>
