Background
《全球可持续发展报告》是联合国的一份出版物，旨在加强可持续发展高级别政治论坛上的科学与政策对接，该论坛在“里约+20”会议之后取代可持续发展委员会，成为在国际一级就可持续发展问题提供政治领导和指导的主要联合国平台。
2015年9月，联合国会员国通过了《2030年可持续发展议程》，赋予全球可持续发展报告在新议程后续行动和审查中的作用(第83段)：高级别政治论坛还将参考《全球可持续发展报告》，该报告将加强科学与政策的衔接，是一个帮助决策者促进消除贫困和可持续发展的强有力的、以实证为基础的工具。
正如“里约+20”成果文件所述，高级别政治论坛的职能之一是，“通过文件审查加强科学与政策对接，汇总分散的信息和评估资料，包括以全球可持续发展报告形式提供的信息和评估资料，在现有评估基础上再接再厉。加强科学与政策对接，汇总分散的信息和评估资料，包括以全球可持续发展报告形式提供的信息和评估资料，在现有评估基础上再接再厉”(第85(k)段)。因此，全球可持续发展报告将采用评估评估的方法，记录和描述可持续发展领域与政策相关的具体问题的信息情况。该报告并不与联合国系统内外正在编写的新评估和其他实质性报告和评估相竞争。
该报告将覆盖全球情况，同时考虑到联合国五个区域的观点。将广泛征求联合国系统的意见，包括各区域委员会、科学家、政府官员和各级利益攸关方，包括各科学院、关键国际评估机构和相关联合国专家组的代表。
展望未来，全球可持续发展报告进程将根据会员国在高级别政治论坛上提出的优先事项开展工作。

Asia and the Pacific Regional Consultation
2027 GSDR Asia and the Pacific Regional Consultation
November 4th - 6th, 2025
To inform the 2027 GSDR as an assessment of assessments, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) and its UN Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD), together with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), are organizing a GSDR regional consultation on November 5-6, 2025 in Incheon, Republic of Korea. The consultation will be an opportunity for the IGS to interact with 30-40 invited participants from countries in the region to help compile evidence of key challenges to achieving the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific region, and lessons learned grounded in science that can start to inform a final push to scale up progress to 2030 and beyond.
At the consultation, the IGS will collect evidence from the region, including context-specific analysis of sustainable development priorities, challenges, and opportunities, as well as the latest analysis on practical, scalable tools to accelerate sustainable development. They will also seek the latest evidence from the natural and social sciences and community and indigenous knowledge on what has worked well to advance progress on the SDGs, and what has not been successful since 2015, to inform future approaches to sustainable development. The IGS is seeking knowledge from scientists, government officials in their technical capacities, private sector experts, members of civil society, youth, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and stakeholders at all levels. The aim will be to give shape to the 2027 GSDR, including the evidence-based policy recommendations that the Member States are expecting.
The Independent Group of Scientists would have a separate closed-door working meeting preceding the consultation on 4 November to begin preparing a zero-draft of elements for the 2027 GSDR. These preparations would enable them to test some of these elements with the consultation participants over the next two days. DESA would provide facilitation and note-taking support for this meeting.
The consultation will be guided by the following questions (subject to change with IGS review):
- In the years of SDG implementation since 2015, what does the latest evidence show about interventions that have worked in achieving the SDGs? What does it say about interventions that have not been as successful? Is there new research on synergies and trade-offs in the Asia-Pacific context that can help inform actions in the final 3 years of SDG implementation from 2027 to 2030?
- What does the latest evidence show are the main impediments to achieving desirable transformations in the entry points identified in past GSDRs? How are national systems of policy prioritization and weakening multilateralism in many areas shaping outcomes? Is there context specific analysis indicating how these impediments can be overcome, including in the areas of institutional and behavioral change?
- What are some examples of policy frameworks in the region that are aligned with the SDGs, and what are the impediments to such alignment? What is the level of capacity in the labour market for implementing the SDGs in different countries in the region, and where is additional investment needed in training and education?
- With hindsight and a greater body of analysis, what institutional, governance, and measurement innovations would need to be implemented to ensure that economic, social, and environmental sustainability are advanced holistically as called for in the 2030 Agenda in the near future and beyond 2030?
- How have the frameworks from the 2019 and 2023 GSDRs been used in policy making (VNRs, national plans, NDCs, etc.) in the Asia and Pacific Region? What are the promising lessons learned from the application of GSDR frameworks? What are the challenges in implementation?
- How could the role of science as a key means of implementation for the SDGs be strengthened to support progress on the SDGs to 2030 and beyond?
- Looking beyond 2030, what are the most crucial opportunities and challenges for sustainable development in the region? How can tools like foresight and scenario analysis help inform policy that is resilient to uncertainty and shocks?
