The 2025 RFSD, under the theme: “Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDGs in the ECE region, leaving no one behind”, will bring together governments and a range of other stakeholders to identify and scale up actions and solutions for accelerating SDG progress, which is lagging behind.

The forum is aligned with the 2025 High-level Political Forum (HLPF) and will review SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 14 (Life Below Water), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

The event will feature:

• A High-level Policy Segment with a focus on science- and evidence-based and inclusive policy solutions.
• Peer learning round tables covering the SDGs under review.
• A forward-looking plenary under the theme “Towards an Inclusive, Prosperous and Sustainable Future,” integrating regional perspectives to global processes and summits.
