High Level Political Forum (HLPF)
The High Level Political Forum (HLPF) is an outcome of Rio+20 and was further agreed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that it will have a central role in overseeing follow-up and review of the Agenda at the global level, including through voluntary national review and thematic reviews. It is expected to serve as a novel, creative, science and evidence based and action oriented platform to promote implementation of sustainable development commitments. General Assembly Resolution 67/290 was far-reaching in the participation and engagement of Major Groups and other Stakeholders, enshrining a role for the Women’s Major Group and others.
The Women’s Major Group plays a key role in the HLPF by preparing a formal input annually, preparing interventions and side events and advocating our evolving positions with delegates, including through a group of women who attend the annual session as WMG members. The WMG will also support the presentation of shadow reports.
The HLPF meets every year for eight days under the auspices of ECOSOC and every four years for a period of two days at the level of Heads of State and Government under the auspices of the General Assembly. The HLPF will result in a negotiated outcome document each year.
