South-South and Triangular Cooperation at HLPF 2026

The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) will be convened from Tuesday, 7 July, to Wednesday, 15 July 2026, under the theme “Transformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for a sustainable future for all.”
Reviews during the 2026 HLPF will focus in-depth on SDG 6 (water and sanitation), SDG 7 (energy), SDG 9 (infrastructure, industrialization and innovation), SDG 11 (cities), and SDG 17 (means of implementation and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development).
Recognizing South-South and triangular cooperation as vital complementary pathways for accelerating SDG implementation, the HLPF provides a timely platform for Member States, UN entities, and development partners to exchange experiences, showcase replicable models, and strengthen collective action toward a sustainable future for all.
