Billions to trillions: Financing the global goals - Opinion

Gavin Wilson, in an opinion piece on Huffington Post, answers the question on what it will take to implement to Global Goals. "Essentially, knowledge, financing and partnership. The first exists in abundance,' he writes. "While ongoing technological and conceptual breakthroughs will undoubtedly help, we already have sufficient experience, know-how and technical expertise to remedy the biggest problems that afflict the world's poor, under-served and vulnerable."

The problem, Wilson writes, is how to finance these solutions and how to come together in partnership to implement them speedily and effectively when and where they are needed.
