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.
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 academia, think tanks, the private sector, local authorities and parliamentarians, among others.
Side Events
Side events are 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 side-events at the 2026 HLPF will be made available in 2026.
