Plenary Session and Closing

Multi-Stakeholder Panel

At the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda, the region is facing setbacks towards achieving the SDGs. Greater scale and momentum is needed to accelerate the full implementation of the SDGs in the remaining years until 2030. The second plenary session of the Regional Forum will therefore look ahead and identify the stakeholders and actions that will help drive progress. The discussion will take into account action areas and key messages from the peer learning round tables, which will be introduced at the outset by the Chair of the session. The panel will attempt to highlight priority areas and explore innovative ideas for transformative action to achieve the SDGs in the region. The panel will comprise a member of the Independent Group of Scientists for the 2023 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) and representatives from civil society/youth, the private sector and member States from different parts of the region – many of which are presenting Voluntary National Reviews in 2023.  Transformative action areas highlighted in the 2023 GSDR may inform the plenary debate following the panel discussion. In addition to forward-looking policy actions, member States and other stakeholders are particularly encouraged to share and announce high-impact initiatives that help preserve and accelerate SDG progress. The outcome of this session will provide a contribution from the region to the second SDG Summit under the auspices of the UN General Assembly in September 2023.
