[PDFlist] Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) 2023

[Villaney Remengesau]

Dear Asia Pacific Disability Constituency Colleagues and Friends,

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 10th APFSD is planned to be held on 27-30 March 2023 in Bangkok,
Thailand.

The countries in the Asia Pacific reporting for VNR next year: Timor Leste,
Maldives, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia,
Thailand, Fiji, Brunei, and Vietnam.

The 10th 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 2023: SDG 6 (Clean Water and
Sanitization), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation,
Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 17
(Partnerships for the Goals).
