Faced with rising challenges for sustainable development, UNECE Regional Forum concluded with renewed commitment to deliver on the SDGs vision

With the 2030 Agenda hanging in the balance and at a time of unique challenges, the UNECE Regional Forum for Sustainable Development underscored a shared resolve to redouble efforts for the Sustainable Development Goals as countries strive to recover better from the COVID-19 crisis. UNECE member States, high-level speakers including the UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and hundreds of key stakeholders convened for the 2022 Regional Forum, organized by UNECE in cooperation with regional UN entities. The Forum’s plenary session and peer-learning round tables placed particular focus on the SDGs under in-depth review at the 2022 High-Level Political Forum (Goals 4, 5, 14, 15 and 17), for which the Forum’s outcomes provided the region’s official input.
