The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will hold its Second Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD 2015), which also serves as the regional forum for sustainable development (RFSD). The meeting will solicit Asia-Pacific regional input to the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development (HLPF) session to be held in June and July 2015 in New York. The theme of APFSD 2015 will be in line with the theme of HLPF 2015 on “strengthening integration, implementation and review – HLPF after 2015”.
