TRI HITA KARANA FORUM FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The Tri Hita Karana (THK) Forum for Sustainable Development with the theme “Blended Finance and Innovation for Better Business Better World” was first held 9-11 October 2018 around the IMF WB Annual Meetings in Bali. Endorsed by the President Joko Widodo, the THK Forum serves as a timely platform to showcase the use of innovative and blended financing not just for Indonesia but also for other emerging markets in general, linking innovation and technological breakthroughs to help put the SDGs in reach.
The THK Forum is jointly organised by the Government of Indonesia, United In Diversity (UID) Foundation, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Global Blended Finance Taskforce (child program of Business and Sustainable Development Commission), and UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).
PURPOSE

Key themes for the THK Forum include oceans, food and sustainable landuse, women, sustainable infrastructure (including energy), innovation, resilient cities, green finance and better policy to mobilise large scale capital for the SDGs.
