In October 2025, Southern Voice convened its global network in São Paulo to reimagine the global development architecture. At a critical moment for the SDGs, the conference created space to address power asymmetries, strengthen Global South perspectives, and advance more representative and effective multilateral decision-making.
From June 30 to July 3, Margarita Gómez, Executive Director at Southern Voice, attended the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville. Amid global crises and the urgency of the 2030 Agenda, she reflects on Southern leadership, key takeaways, and Southern Voice’s role in reshaping global financing.
The SDG financing gap has surged to $4 trillion annually, posing urgent challenges for the Global South. Ahead of the FfD4 conference, Southern Voice and its partners outline key priorities—debt sustainability, climate finance, taxation, and more—to reshape global financial systems and support inclusive, sustainable development. Join us in Seville.
