Organized by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development for the High-level Political Forum for Sustainable Development (HLPF) will focus on: developing strong regional inputs to inform global dialogue and decision-making, as well as national responses; identifying effective and inclusive means of implementation for a transformational development agenda; and defining the regional high level political forum processes to 2015 and beyond. Highlights of the forum include a high-level roundtable on addressing the challenges of meeting the MDGs, a multi-stakeholder roundtable on integrating sustainable development and a special session on the rule of law. It will be preceded by a civil society consultation and a regional dialogue on technology facilitation.
