Welcome to the United Nations
Permanent Mission of Denmark to the United Nations
What does sustainable recovery look like in practice? What have Member States and other stakeholders been doing to place Human Rights and those left behind at the centre? Are we now more resilient to the face future crises? To help us answer these questions, we will hear from Member States participating in this year’s Voluntary National Review process, as well as from national and international civil society representatives and human rights experts, including the ASG for OHCHR, who will share their best practices and lessons learnt.
The 2022 HLPF will be an important opportunity to hear State and non-state actors reflect on and share good practices and lessons learned from the recovery efforts as they are reporting their 2030 Agenda progress through Voluntary National Reviews and at the same time reflecting on the commitments of the Sustainable Recovery Pledge. These will be directly connected with SDG 5 on gender equality and SDG 17 on partnerships for the Goals, which are under review during HLPF.
The event will also be an opportunity to discuss our collective preparedness for future crises and shocks based on lessons learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic. By signing the Sustainable Recovery Pledge, Member States and other stakeholders committed to working on risk-informed strategies based on the belief “that preparedness, response and recovery strategies that respect human rights will result in better, more just and more sustainable outcomes”. Now, the question remains: how is this being done in a sustainable, just, and resilient way?
