What will success for the SDGs look like in 2030? We are nearing the half-way review of the 2030 Agenda and there is growing evidence that we are lagging in the achievement of the SDGs.

This event will offer an informal space in the framework of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) for decision makers, scientists, and other stakeholders to exchange views on potential strategies to ensure the acceleration of SDG implementation is as evidence-based, strategic and effective as possible. It will showcase important scientific findings, methodologies and tools that can help support evidence-based decision-making for the SDGs. These insights will also aim to inform the upcoming 2023 SDG Summit and the 2024 Summit of the Future.

We need to recognize that we have reached a point where effectiveness is the focus, not perfection. Therefore, the event will look at SDG accelerating pathways and portfolios for the short and medium term. The expected outcome of the event is a call to action for HLPF 2023 and for the September SDG Summit.

Objectives:

• Create a space for exchange between a varied set of stakeholders, including governments, scientists, and practitioners
• Present current evidence of SDG impact and concrete strategies to support acceleration
• Present innovative research and current studies, for instance the upcoming 2023 GSDR
