This regional platform aims to inform, empower, and
support Asia-Pacific countries (especially least developed countries,
landlocked developing countries and small island developing States) in their
efforts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their targets set
out by the 2030 Agenda by identifying regional trends and sharing best
practices and lessons learned. The Forum convenes United Nations system
bodies, member States, international organisations, civil society, and other
stakeholders whose reflections feed into and inform the 2026 High-level
Political Forum (HLPF) in New York, which reviews sustainable development
progress at the global level.
The 13th APFSD will be organized from 24 to 27 February 2026 under the theme: "Transformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for a sustainable future for all" at the United Nations Conference Center (UNCC) in Bangkok, Thailand.
In alignment with the focus of the 2026 HLPF, the Forum will assess progress on the SDGs under review: Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation); 7 (affordable and clean energy); 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure); 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and 17 (partnership for the Goals). The Forum will provide a platform and sessions to support countries presenting their voluntary national reviews at the 2026 HLPF.
