Background
The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) 2025 will convene from July 14-23 in New York under the theme "Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for leaving no one behind." The 2025 HLPF will have an in-depth review of Sustainable Development Goals 3 – Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, 5 – Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, 8 – Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all, 14 – Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development, and 17 – Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development.
In preparation for the review of SDG 3 and its role in advancing sustainable development across the 2030 Agenda, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development Goals (UN-DESA/DSDG), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), with the support of the wider UN system, are organizing an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on SDG 3 and its interlinkages with other SDGs.
The objective of the meeting will be to take stock of progress towards SDG 3; to identify innovative solutions that could accelerate progress toward SDG 3 while also generating synergies and addressing trade-offs with other goals and targets; to identify lessons learned and good practices on SDG 3 implementation over the past 10 years; and to reflect on ways to harness the political momentum from the SDG Summit and the Summit of the Future to deliver on SDG 3 by 2030.
These discussions will help inform the HLPF, assist in planning its sessions, and contribute toward identifying collaborations and programmes of work on SDG 3 going forward from 2025.
