WHAT\u00a0\u00a0 United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Coordination Segment <\/strong><\/p>\n

With only five years remaining until 2030, less than one-fifth of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets are on track\u2014further exacerbated by a $4 trillion annual financing gap. The world continues to grapple with ongoing conflicts, economic instability, deepening inequalities, and an escalating climate crisis.<\/p>\n

But we have critical opportunities this year to achieve breakthroughs in sustainable development. Building on the commitments made in the Pact for the Future<\/a>, the\u00a0United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) 2025 Coordination Segment\u00a0will convene key stakeholders to advance\u00a0coordinated, science-driven solutions\u00a0that\u00a0leave no one behind. The Segment will focus on the theme of the\u00a02025 ECOSOC session and the High-level Political Forum (HLPF): “Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for leaving no one behind.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Coordination Segment will bring together Member States, ECOSOC subsidiary bodies, UN entities, specialized agencies and other participants. It will provide guidance for the economic, social, health, and environmental efforts of these bodies and entities, ensuring an integrated approach to follow-up on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other major United Nations conferences and summits.<\/p>\n

In this context, the event will draw on contributions from the Council\u2019s subsidiary bodies and UN entities to prepare for the 2025 HLPF, including reviews of SDGs on health (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), life below water (SDG 14), and partnerships (SDG 17).<\/p>\n

In addition, the Segment will also provide an important opportunity to discuss the Council\u2019s implementation of the\u00a0Pact for the Future\u00a0and contributions from the ECOSOC system to\u00a0other key processes in 2025, including the\u00a0Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development<\/a>, the Second World Summit for Social Development<\/a>, the Beijing+30 review of the Fourth World Conference on Women,<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0WSIS+20 review\u00a0<\/a>of the World Summit on the Information Society.<\/p>\n
