The North and Central Asian Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (Subregional SDG Forum) is an annual event organized since 2017 by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and partners from within and outside the United Nations system.
The theme of the Subregional SDG Forum this year is “Human Well-being and the SDGs: Recovering after the COVID-19 crisis”. It will focus on what a “new normal” after the pandemic could and should entail. Its theme and Sustainable Development Goals cluster (1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, and 17) are aligned with those of the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) in 2021.
The Subregional SDG Forum will provide an opportunity to discuss the current situation of implementation of the SDGs in North and Central Asian countries and possible actions and solutions for the acceleration of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the context of coping with the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and to “build back better”. The Subregional SDG Forum’s outcomes and recommendations will feed into regional and global processes, in particular the annual Asia-Pacific Forum for Sustainable Development (APFSD) and the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF).
This year the Subregional SDG Forum Co-organizers include: FAO, ILO, UNEP, UNESCO, UN Women, WHO.
