This session will act as a reminder that the midpoint review of the SDGs is an opportunity to renew the commitments towards the transformative aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. It will shine a light on ways to overcome global challenges and will set out practical recommendations to accelerate action and leave no one behind as we gear up towards 2030.

It will aim to unpack the systemic barriers, identify gaps, and ensure meaningful right holders¡¯ engagement in the implementation of the SDGs. It will reflect on the priorities to achieve transformational change in the face of multiple and intersecting crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic, increased armed conflicts, accelerating climate change and the impact of debt crises, amidst increasing gender-based violence and inequality. It will then offer clear proposals for effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda which is grounded in community knowledge and practical proposals for a more sustainable, genuinely inclusive, human rights-based approach to development.

The ¡®Major Groups and Other Stakeholders¡¯ include 21 diverse stakeholder constituencies that are an integral part of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs as enshrined in the UNGA Resolution 67/290.

We will share critical perspectives, particularly from those who have been left behind, to unlock the potential of civil society in contributing to just, equal, peaceful and sustainable societies, and contribute more meaningfully to Ãå±±½ûµØprocesses.

Proposed guiding questions:

1. How can we restore faith in partnerships and for the 2030 Agenda? What are the roles of civil society as partners in development in the critical period of implementation of the 2030 Agenda?

2. How can better partnerships underpin human rights, equality and equity, particularly intergenerational equity, and sustainable development in multilateral global governance? How can we address the shrinking civic space and attacks against civil society and human rights defenders at national and multilateral fora including the UN?

3. How can we transform the global economy and finance, aid, trade and climate action to genuinely leave no one behind? What steps can be taken to ensure a human rights based economy?
