Dear Akram, Abia, Nalini, Deepti, Murali, and Della:

CC: APRCEM Asia Pacific Disability Constituency Members and Colleagues

Kindly find below some information and reminders for the onsite and virtual/KUDO participants at next week's Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) 2022.

Event Information

The Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) is an annual and inclusive intergovernmental forum and a regional platform for supporting countries, in particular those with special needs, in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development while serving as a regional preparatory meeting to the high-level political forum.

The Forum provides a regional perspective on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda by identifying regional trends and consolidating and sharing best practices and lessons learned. The Forum takes into consideration the contributions of United Nations system bodies (at the regional level), other regional and sub-regional organizations, and relevant stakeholders.  The APFSD also supports follow-up and review of progress on the 2030 Agenda at the regional level.

The theme of the 9th APFSD is “Building back better from COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Asia and the Pacific”. The 9th APFSD will play a unique role as a catalyzer of solutions and peer learning on how to accelerate transformations for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda while recovering from COVID-19. Within this context, the forum will provide the space for an in-depth review of the following cluster of goals which will be reviewed by the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in 2022: SDG 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), 14 (Life below water), 15 (Life on Land), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Sustainable Development Goals Under Review in 2022


[SDG4 Quality Education]        [SDG 5 Gender Equality]         [SDG 14 Life Below Water]       [SDG Life on Land]      [SDG 15 Partnership for the Goals]
WhatsApp
I believe all of you are in our WhatsApp group chat, APFSD Disability 2022. We'll use this for staying connected and smooth coordination of our Constituency's statement since our participation is hybrid, with some of us are in Bangkok and some in KUDO/virtually. Are there any onsite or virtual participants I've missed? Please let me know.

Constituency statements and interventions
A longer version of the statement has been disseminated to all the Constituency members and colleagues for final input. This same longer version statement will be submitted to the APRCEM. I'll deliver the shorter version at the APFSD next week and will be sent to ESCAP. The shorter version must be presented in no more than 3 minutes.

Programme and other information
The APFSD will be convened in hybrid mode – physically at the United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC), and virtually on the KUDO virtual platform (plenary), and via Zoom (Roundtables for SDGs 4, 5, 17, 14, and 15 respectively) from 28 to 31 March 2022.

The programme, documents, and information on the side and other associated events are available at https://www.unescap.org/events/apfsd9<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unescap.org%2Fevents%2Fapfsd9&data=04%7C01%7Cmurali.padmanabhan%40wfp.org%7Cd1a3c5a927a24dade0c908da0f2eeb18%7C462ad9aed7d94206b87471b1e079776f%7C0%7C0%7C637838991636155713%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=ZHeZKvIhtX%2BG8aI3QMgvmRXqWrvq5qq0PATvYhGNlp4%3D&reserved=0>.
