2024 Investment Policy Forum
The 16th edition of the International Institute for Sustainable Development's (IISD) Investment Policy Forum took place in Manila, the Philippines, in October 2024. Investment policy-makers from developing countries across the world engaged in discussions and workshops to advance investment governance for sustainable development.
The Investment Policy Forum, organized by IISD, is the world's only annual event exclusively for investment policy-makers from developing countries.
This flagship IISD event leads the way on sustainable investment reform from the bottom up, driven by our global community of investment policy-makers from developing countries.
The 16th edition of the Investment Policy Forum was hosted by the Government of the Philippines and took place in Manila from October 16 to 18, 2024. Investment policy-makers and negotiators from developing countries—spanning Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean—discussed, strategized, and shared experiences to advance our shared vision of fair and sustainable international investment governance.
At the 2024 Investment Policy Forum, the participants followed up on the Institutional Coherence Toolkit developed at the 2023 Investment Policy Forum.
