Date:

UN convenes stakeholder groups to review progress and urgent follow-up action to step up sustainable development in the region

The Ninth Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) will be held from 28 to 31 March in Bangkok, with governments, civil society, private sector, academia, youth, UN bodies and other stakeholder groups set to address the theme “Building back better from COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Asia and the Pacific,” ahead of the High-Level Political Forum at the United Nations Headquarters in July.

This year, delegates will undertake an in-depth review of five Sustainable Development Goals including Goal 4 (quality education), 5 (gender equality), 14 (life below water), 15 (life on land) and 17 (partnerships for the Goals). Organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the forum will provide an inclusive platform for countries to share regional best practices and lessons learnt, support the presentation of their voluntary national reviews and assess progress made towards implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
