"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.

"content": "The case for parliamentary action actually engaged parliamentarians in assessing two SDGs under the review of HLPF, SDG 16, on peace, justice and strong institutions, and SDG 13 on climate change. The parliamentary forum, reiterated that while the SDGs were important, an inter- independent SDG 16 was key because it enabled all other SDGs to succeed. Members of Parliaments were urged to be robust and work towards the more inclusive, transparent, accountable institutions and political environment, focused on achieving greater good for all through consensus and cooperation. Our Parliament was represented at the HLPF 2024 by yours truly. I was accompanied by Mr. Innocent Mbaya, Senior Clerk Assistant and Secretary to the Delegation. The Kenya Delegation was actively involved in the deliberations and greatly enriched the resolutions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the delegation, I thank the Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Amason Kingi, and the Clerk of the Senate for having given me this opportunity to ensure that Kenya was well represented during the High Level Conference Political Forum on Sustainable Development Goals and the IPU Parliamentary Meeting held on the sidelines of this forum. It is my pleasure and humble duty to move this Motion on the Report, highlighting the deliberations and outcomes of the HLPF 2024 and the Parliamentary Forum on the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Achievement. I beg to move and request Sen. Cherarkey to second."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I commend the delegation led by Sen. Hamida Kibwana. She is a guru in most of these issues of the United Nations, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and discussions that happen. The Report is very important. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, In early 2000, we refocused our energies on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Vision 2030, which was internalized. Now we are moving to the 17 Sustainable 17 Development Goals. This voluntary review by nations is very critical. The United Nations Declaration on Human Rights and the formation of Economic and Social Council is very important in terms of development across the globe. In this resolution, most of these things need political direction, guidance and leadership. We were just discussing the issue of the Great Lakes. We realized that peace, security and stability is very critical for sustainable development. You cannot have development without peace, security, and stability in our region, especially the Horn of Africa and across the world. Dialogue is very important especially in conflict resolutions. There is also focus on dynamic action-oriented agenda and considering new and emerging sustainable development challenges. Voluntary national reviews from member states on Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is very critical moving into the future. There must be improved cooperation and coordination between the United Nations and across the states of the world. Now, the United States of America (USA) is imposing tariffs on China and other countries, including Africa, while we are told Kenya is among the lowest tariffs that were being imposed. The threat to Sustainable Development Goals is protectionism by nations The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
