The 2024 Partnership Forum of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will be held on 30 January 2024 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York under the theme “Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions”.It will place a special emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals under in-depth review at the 2024 high-level political forum on sustainable development (HLPF), namely SDG 1 (no poverty); SDG 2 (zero hunger); SDG 13 (climate action), SDG 16 (peace and justice); and SDG 17 (partnership for the Goals).
Nearly all the countries in the world have promised to improve the planet and the lives of its citizens by 2030.
They’ve committed themselves to 17 life-changing goals, outlined by the UN in 2015. These Global Goals, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), include ending extreme poverty, giving people better healthcare, and achieving equality for women.
The aim is for all countries to work together to ensure no one is left behind. You can read about the goals below, and learn how Sightsavers is helping to achieve them.
