    "content": "HLPF was reinforcing the 2030 agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises, the effective delivery of sustainable resilience and innovative solutions. If you will allow me to just kindly refer to my few notes, because this happened last year, July. It is quite some time. I remember it was a High-Level Political Forum in the main United Nations Platform on Sustainable Development regarding the sustainable development. It has a central role in the follow-up and review the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global level. That forum provided for the full effective participation of all member states of the United States, specialised agencies of the United States, as well as civil societies through the major groups and stakeholders coordination mechanism. The 2024 HLPF was the first forum under the auspice of ECOSOC and after the 2023 SDGs Summit, which was convened at the General Assembly in September, 2023. The 2024 HLPF was supported and implemented with a political and other outcomes of the SDG Summit for advancing the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. This forum attracted over 90 government high-level officials and 125 Speakers. In line with the integrated nature of SDGs goals, it also conducted in depth the reviews of the following goals; that is, poverty, zero hunger goal, climate action and peace, justice and strong institutions. The other one was partnerships of the goals. The 36 countries presented their voluntary national reviews. It is called the VNR, which was shared in progress of the 2030 Agenda. In addition, it featured about 236 side events and 13 VNR labs. The 13 special events and 14 exhibitions held on margins of the forum offered the opportunities of the deeper engagement and collaboration. In line with the theme. The SDGs looked at the way forward of effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions. The forum was tasked to review the five SDGs. Number one was eradicating poverty in all its forms everywhere, SDG 1. Number two was to end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agricultural, SDG 2. Number three was to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. That is SDG 13. Number four was to promote peaceful and inclusive societies and sustainable development and to provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. That is SDG 16. The last one was the strengthening of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development. That is SDG 17. The UN Under-Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs, Mr. Lee Juna, informed the forum that the final stretch towards SDG 2030, only 17 per cent of SDGs targets are on track. Also, to be achieved on this one, he reiterated the call of bold action for peace and finance, highlighting the upcoming Summit of the Future, the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development and the Second World Summit for Social Development as crucial milestones in advancing the SDGs. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) was also held at the same time. This was on the sidelines of the HLPF. This was held on the 16th of July at the forum under the Governance Deficits and Climate Disasters. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
