As we approach the year 2030, ministers, experts, and representatives from civil society around the world will gather in New York starting next Monday to participate in a high-level UN forum. This event will take place from July 14 to July 23 and aims to accelerate the actions needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development follows the recent International Conference on Financing for Development, held in Seville, where an urgent call was made to close the alarming annual gap of four trillion dollars needed to meet the SDGs. In this context, the need to increase investment and reform the global financial system was highlighted.
This year’s theme, “Driving Sustainable, Inclusive, and Science-Based Solutions,” reflects the urgency of establishing practical, data-driven strategies that can help bridge implementation gaps. This need is particularly pressing in light of multiple global crises, including climate change, inequality, and economic instability.
In 2025, the event will focus on five specific SDGs, covering topics such as public health, gender equality, economic resilience, and marine conservation. The review of SDG 17, which is assessed annually, will emphasize the importance of revitalizing global partnerships and improving financing mechanisms—commitments that were reiterated in Seville.
One distinctive feature of this forum is the execution of Voluntary National Reviews, where member states present self-assessments of their progress towards the SDGs. This year, numerous countries are expected to provide their evaluations, which will offer valuable insights into achievements and challenges, thus promoting transparency and accountability.
The event will not be exclusive to governments, as it will also include diverse participants such as youth groups, local authorities, indigenous peoples, NGOs, academics, and representatives from the private sector. This inclusive approach reflects the spirit of the 2030 Agenda, which envisions sustainable development as a collective effort.
With only five years remaining to achieve the SDGs, the 2025 forum presents a crucial moment. This event will not only serve as an annual review but will also set the tone for the upcoming SDG Summit in 2027. What happens in New York will determine whether the SDGs become a transformative reality or remain a missed opportunity.
