Welcome to the United Nations
VNR Labs
VNR Labs provide an informal platform for experience-sharing and reflection on the VNR findings. Discussions are held under the Chatham House rule.
A programme of VNR Labs will be posted in May 2025.
Special Events
In collaboration with key partners, a series of focused special events are organized by a wide range of stakeholders for the HLPF each year, such as by academia, think tanks, the private sector, local authorities, and parliamentarians, among others.
A programme of special events at the 2025 HLPF will be posted in April 2025.
Side Events
Side Events will be organized by Member States, the United Nations system and other intergovernmental organizations and the Major Groups and other accredited stakeholders.
The side events will be organized and convened outside the official HLPF programme, providing additional opportunities to contribute to the theme of the HLPF and to the SDGs under review.
Guidelines for considering a side event at the 2025 HLPF will be posted in March 2025.
