The newest edition of UNIDO’s flagship publication, the Industrial Development Report 2024 (IDR2024), stresses the pivotal role that industry can play in delivering sustainable development solutions, given its strong impact on social and environmental goals. Participants at a pre-launch event, “Industrial Policy for a Fair Globalization: Insights from the Industrial Development Report 2024”, heard how progress on industry-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to clean energy, decent work and innovation has been slower than hoped for, especially in developing countries. There is an urgent need for new industrial policies that are aligned with the SDGs.
