The Justice Coalition of Religious (JCoR) created a guide to the HLPF, including information about the forum, how you can participate in events, and suggested advocacy messaging for social media. The guide can be found on the JCoR website, in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. We encourage you to use this resource and share it with your networks to add your voice to these important conversations, holding our governments accountable to the global commitment to sustainable development.
The High-Level Political Forum functions as the central United Nations platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each year, the forum focuses on a select few SDGs, and government leaders voluntarily report on their national progress toward achievement of these SDGs. The SDGs of focus this year are 1, 2, 13, 16, and 17. You can read about the special events of the High-Level Political Forum here.
In addition to reports from governments, the HLPF also includes events sponsored by civil society groups, to highlight their perspectives on implementation and progress toward the SDGs in their respective countries. JCoR will join the conversation by offering a series of virtual discussion, which we are calling the “JCoR SDG Lab.” This series will showcase Catholic Religious and their partners’ perspectives on progress and good practices towards sustainable development. It will run from 22-26 July and include sessions dedicated to each of the aforementioned SDGs of focus for the 2024 HLPF. Each session will run from 9:00am-10:45am (New York time).
All are welcome to attend these JCoR SDG Lab sessions. Interpretation will be provided in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Please see the details below, and register to join us for one or more of the sessions!
