Regional sustainable development forums have convened for the Asia-Pacific and European regions, completing the series of preparatory events in each region ahead of the 2022 HLPF. Both Forums held dedicated discussions on the five SDGs that have been selected for in-depth review during the 2022 HLPF: SDG 4 (quality education), 5 (gender equality), 14 (life below water), 15 (life on land), and 17 (partnerships for the Goals). The UNECE programme included an update on the 2023 edition of the UN’s Global Sustainable Development Report.
