HLPF 2022: All you need to know
Each year, countries gather at the UN at the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to report their successes and challenges in bringing the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to life. What should you expect as the 2022 HLPF approaches?
The SDG Lab, Cepei, and IISD—in partnership with UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs and Action for Sustainable Development—hosted an informal virtual briefing and question/answer session on the 2022 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). The webinar gave an overview of the themes and issues of this year's HLPF, helping interested stakeholders unpack the main messages, connect with like-minded peers, and shape their own advocacy and communications during the high-profile event.
