“It is special because it serves as the Pre-Summit to the SDG Summit in September. Our attention will be on how best to accelerate recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerate implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

“As we do every year, we will conduct in-depth reviews of several Sustainable Development Goals. This year, we will have dedicated sessions on SDGs 6 on clean water and sanitation, 7 on affordable and clean energy, 9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure, 11 on sustainable cities and communities, and 17 on partnerships for the Goals, as well as their interlinkages.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations:
“At the heart of our discussions lie the Voluntary National Reviews presented by numerous countries, each demonstrating their commitment to accelerating SDG progress and sharing their achievements and, in some cases, setbacks. We are pleased to witness the active participation of 38 countries, as they present their VNRs and welcome the first Voluntary Review by the European Union. Since 2015, 188 countries have conducted VNRs, a testament to the global commitment towards the SDGs. It is encouraging to see that countries have improved their preparation, engaging stakeholders more systematically and utilizing multiple tools of analysis.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Arrmanatha Christiawan Nasir, Vice President of the Economic and Social Council and Permanent Representative of Indonesia to the United Nations:
“The pandemic and its ongoing challenges continually remind us of their inter-connectedness. They can only be addressed through interlinked solutions, tools and initiatives. To achieve this, we need to: Break down persistent silos, to fully unleash tools and transformative initiatives; Resolve critical bottlenecks in key areas, such as data, digital technologies, effective institutions and financing - to multiply efforts to advance implementation of all the Goals; Foster international cooperation and solidarity; and Enhance coherence and coordination, between ECOSOC, the UN system, and the international financial institutions.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Edward Ndopu, SDG Advocate, youth representative:
“We are the digital natives, the climate warriors, the social innovators, we are the dreamers and the doers of a better tomorrow. And yet, too often, our voices are silenced. Our contributions minimized. Our involvement constrained to symbolic gestures.”
