Partnership Snapshot

The 2025 ECOSOC Partnership Forum will be held on 5 February at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, under the theme: Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaving no one behind.

The 2025 ECOSOC Partnership Forum will place special emphasis on the SDGs to be reviewed at the 2025 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), namely Goal 3, 5, 8, 14 and 17.

The Forum will also feature four SDG Action Segments, focusing on Goal 3, 5, 8 and 14. Elements from Goal 17, as a cross-cutting goal, are expected to be featured in each segment.

As part of the preparations for the 2025 ECOSOC Partnership Forum and its SDG Action Segments, the present Partnership Snapshot has been developed by drawing from its SDG Actions Platform, the database of reports from countries conducting Voluntary National Reviews, and the UN System SDG Implementation Database covering actions, initiatives, and plans for the 2030 Agenda across the UN System.

The aim of the Partnership Snapshot is to provide a concise and informative overview of various partnerships, with the aim of inspiring governments and stakeholders to actively engage in collaborations that advance the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Additionally, the Snapshot emphasizes key elements of building effective multi-stakeholder partnerships and fostering meaningful stakeholder engagement for the 2030 Agenda, drawing on DESA’s guidance materials.
