Welcome to the United Nations
The Handbook on Major Groups and Other Stakeholders (MGoS) Participation in the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) is a comprehensive guide to supporting the full and active participation of stakeholders in the UN HLPF and related processes at national, regional, and global levels that advance the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It outlines the many opportunities for MGoS to contribute to the HLPF convened annually by the Economic and Social Council and every four years as the SDG Summit under the General Assembly. The Handbook also serves as a valuable resource for Member States, UN entities, and partners seeking to better understand the recognized role of MGoS as essential actors in sustainable development, highlighting the importance of civil society voices, stakeholder contributions, and collaborative approaches to achieving the SDGs.
