The High level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) took place from 5th- 18th July, 2022 in New York under the theme “Building back better from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ”. Our member from Sri Lanka joined HLPF this year along with our accomplice from Argentina (also a member of Vecinas Feministas). Both countries were conducting Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) at HLPF this year.  

RESURJ members from Egypt, Mexico, Sri Lanka and Zambia attended the ILGA conference which was held from 2-6 May, 2022 in California.

We, alongside our accomplices, particularly Diverse Voices and Action for Equality (DIVA for Equality) from Fiji, saw CSW66 as an opportunity to maintain momentum from the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) and climate summit, and build towards COP27 in November, 2022.

As we reflect on the ambitious and inspirational commitments set through the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, there is a clear and urgent need to assess the platforms responsible for the follow-up and review of the SDGs.
