INTESDA Supports the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) 2025
Dear Friends,
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year of progress in the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We pledge our dedication to support and promote the initiatives which other organizations and members of the global community have undertaken in this global fight to create a better tomorrow for the citizens of the world. In fact, 2025 marks the 10 year anniversary since the 17 Sustainable Development Goals were initiated. We must not waiver. We must not falter. We are making progress, but much work remains.
On that note, we support the 2025 session of the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), which will be the 13th session of the HLPF 2025. The meeting will be held from Monday, 14 July, to Friday, 18 July 2025, under the auspices of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). A three-day ministerial segment of the HLPF will convene from Monday, 21 July, to Wednesday, 23 July.
The HLPF is the main UN platform on sustainable development. It has a central role in the follow-up and review of implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDGs. All UN Member States as well as representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs) participate in the HLPF, which meets under the auspices of ECOSOC.
HLPF 2025 will take place on the theme, ‘Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for leaving no one behind’. It will conduct in-depth review of SDG 3 (good health and well-being), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 14 (life below water), and SDG 17 (partnerships for the Goals).
Thank you all for your support.
Yours most sincerely,
Takayuki Yamada
INTESDA, Founder and Chairperson
