JCoR SDG Lab at the 2022 High Level Political Forum

Series of showcases of Catholic Religious and their partners’ perspectives on progress and good practices toward SDGs 4, 5, 14, 15, and 17

 

The annual High Level Political Forum (HLPF) will take place from 5-15 July this year. It functions as the central United Nations platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each year, the forum focuses on a select few SDGs, and government leaders voluntarily report on their national progress toward achievement of these SDGs. The SDGs of focus this year are 4, 5, 14, 15, and 17.

In addition to reports from governments, the HLPF also includes events sponsored by civil society groups, to highlight their perspectives on implementation and progress toward the SDGs in their respective countries. JCoR will join the conversation by offering a series of virtual conversations, which we are calling the “JCoR SDG Lab.” The series will run from 5-13 July and include sessions dedicated to each of the aforementioned SDGs of focus for the 2022 HLPF.

In each of the JCoR SDG Lab sessions, delegates of Catholic NGOs who have participated in JCoR’s HLPF training programme, will share their observations on SDG progress (or lack of progress) and present some of their own ministry projects that are contributing to the achievement of the Goals. 

All are welcome to attend these JCoR SDG Lab sessions. Please see the details below, and register to join us for one or more of the sessions!
