A global gathering of policymakers, experts, and stakeholders driving progress on the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals. Through high-level discussions, in-depth reviews, and country presentations, the forum will advance science-based, inclusive solutions for a sustainable and equitable future.

To strengthen the voice of local and regional governments, PLATFORMA and CEMR are joining forces with the Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments (GTF) led by the world organisation United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG).
