The Parliamentary Forum at the HLPF is designed to engage parliamentarians in assessing progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global level. Billed as a Special Event of the annual HLPF session, the Parliamentary Forum provides a major opportunity for parliamentary oversight of government action as well as for an exchange of best legislative practices on sustainable development from parliaments around the world.

This year’s Parliamentary Forum will focus on two SDGs that are under review at the HLPF, namely, SDG 16,  on peace, justice and strong institutions, and SDG 13, on climate change. In two fast-paced sessions,  the meeting will highlight the concrete steps parliaments can make to advance these goals and help reset the SDGs as a whole.

NOTE: Registration for the Parliamentary Forum is solely for the purpose of the List of Participants. All registered participants are required to obtain accreditation to the HLPF through their respective missions to the United Nations in New York
