Taking Stock of the Pact for the Future - Informal meeting of the General Assembly, 80th session.
Across two ministerial roundtable discussions, Member States are invited to take stock of national-level implementation of the Pact for the Future, using the SDGs under in-depth review at the HLPF as a thematic frame.
- Opening Segment
- Ministerial Roundtable One: Delivering for People and Planet
The first roundtable focuses on the SDGs under in-depth review at the HLPF, each of which finds direct and substantive expression in the Pact's commitments. Taken together, SDG 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, SDG 7 - Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, and SDG 11 - Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable represent the infrastructure of sustainable development, without which no other development goal can be sustainably achieved.
- Ministerial Roundtable Two: Making Multilateralism Fit for the Future
The second roundtable centers on SDG 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, and the Pact's commitments on global governance reform. Chapter 5 of the Pact calls for a fundamental rethinking of the multilateral system, so that it meets the moment. From the revitalization of the General Assembly and reform of the Security Council to the strengthening of ECOSOC, the rebalancing of the relationship with international financial institutions, and meaningful inclusion of developing countries' voices in global decision-making, Chapter 5 reflects a collective commitment to building a multilateral system that is more legitimate, more representative, and more effective.
