National Reports on the 2030 Agenda: What do they (not) reveal?

On 13 July, the CDP Secretariat co-organized together with the New School, Social Watch and Global Policy Forum, the HLPF side event “National Reports on the 2030 Agenda: What do they (not) reveal?” to launch the CDP Background Paper with the same title. At the event the importance of national reporting on the 2030 Agenda, both by governments (VNRs) and civil society (“spotlight” or “shadow” reports) was discussed. The CDP presented key findings of its analysis of 2019 VNRs, analyzing how countries addressed four key issues: leaving no one behind; pursuing global partnership as means of implementation (SDG17); addressing inequalities (SDG 10) and gender inequality (SDG5).

Social Watch and Global Policy Forum are members of Civil Society Reflection Group on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that publishes the global Spotlight Report assessing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
