PVBLIC Foundation at the 81st Session of the
UN General Assembly
21 - 25 September 2026
A week of high-level convenings, dialogues and strategic partnerships at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
PVBLIC Foundation will bring together leaders from government, the United Nations, philanthropy, business, and civil society to advance collaborative solutions for a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable future.
Our engagements will be grounded in PVBLIC Foundation's four pillars for social impact: Nature, Technology, Capital, and Multilateralism. This UNGA, we are marking milestone anniversaries for the SDG Media Zone and the Cumbre de Impacto Iberoamericano, convening the Family Offices for Sustainable Development (FOSD) Summit, and presenting the Global Health Futures Forum.
Featured Programme
21 - 25 SEPT
SDG Media Zone
The SDG Media Zone, an initiative of the United Nations Department of Global Communications in collaboration with the PVBLIC Foundation, will celebrate ten years of impact. Since 2016, it has served as a global platform for dialogue and public engagement, bringing together world leaders, United Nations officials, experts, innovators, and media to advance conversations on sustainable development. The 2026 edition will commemorate a decade of impact during the high-level segment of the United Nations General Assembly.
22 SEPT
From Nature Credits to Development Outcomes: Financing Resilient Prosperity
The session examines how a nature credit financing mechanism can move from concept toward practical country application. The discussion will move beyond a conceptual treatment of nature credits. It will focus instead on the perspectives of decision-makers, the relevance of the mechanism to participating countries, and the practical steps required to move from ideas toward implementation.
23 SEPT
The Family Offices for Sustainable Development Summit will convene legacy-driven family offices, Heads of State, United Nations leadership, and global partners to explore the role of private capital in advancing sustainable development. Discussions will focus on strengthening public-private collaboration and leveraging data-driven approaches and innovative financing to deliver long-term development outcomes.
23 SEPT
A breakfast convening curated by PVBLIC Foundation’s flagship program, the SDG Data Alliance, bringing together government, private sector, and international leaders to explore how data, geospatial technologies, and partnerships can accelerate resilient development for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The discussion will highlight the work of the SDG Data Alliance and the SIDS Centre of Excellence, including the development of the SIDS Global Data Hub and a network of Country Data Hubs to strengthen national data ecosystems and support evidence-based decision-making.

24 SEPT
The Global Health Futures Forum will convene governments, multilateral institutions, and mission-aligned private-sector partners to strengthen healthcare resilience and build sustainable health systems worldwide. The Forum will feature the Global Health Futures program, a neutral, sovereign-aligned health implementation platform managed by PVBLIC, fostering collaboration to advance scalable, equitable health infrastructure.
24 SEPT
The New Media Frontier: Storytelling, AI & Impact
Connect, celebrate media innovation, and shape what’s next for societal progress on AI & Digital Frontiers Day at the SDG Media Zone. ONE 100: Media Innovators for Good, a $7.5M initiative and 100-organization cohort building the future of impact media through responsible AI innovation, will be honored. This work supports co-designing strategies and infrastructure that harnesses AI-driven media intelligence and activation.
25 SEPT
The 10th edition of the Cumbre de Impacto Iberoamericano will convene senior representatives from governments, the private sector, and international organizations to advance dialogue on sustainable development across the Ibero-American region. As a leading high-level platform during UNGA High-Level Week, the Cumbre has brought together Heads of State, ministers, and Secretaries-General from across the region. The 2026 edition marks a new chapter: an intimate, curated convening to shape the roadmap for the next decade, with Spain as the Country of Focus and programming developed in partnership with leading Ibero-American institutions.
