Conference summary
About the Conference
The Conference took stock of global progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16); shared knowledge, success stories and good practices; identified particular areas of concern and main challenges; and suggested ways forward in terms of policies, partnerships and coordinated actions at all levels, as well as specific ways to leverage the interlinkages between SDG 16 and the other Goals. The Conference also drew on the reporting contained in the voluntary national reviews (VNRs).
While sharpening the focus on SDG 16, the Conference further emphasized the integrated, indivisible, and universal nature of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These messages will help inform the upcoming HLPF, assist in planning its sessions, and serve to influence collaboration and programmes of work going forward from 2019.
