The 2022 HLPF provided political guidance for building back better from the COVID-19 pandemic while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addition to addressing the impact of the lingering pandemic, it explored the interrelated and compounded effects of the food, energy and financial crises, climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation and outlined steps that countries are taking in pursuit of a sustainable recovery. The HLPF stressed the need for transformational and action-oriented measures to regain lost ground and accelerate progress on the SDGs. It emphasized the centrality of SDG implementation, both to a lasting recovery and to a more crisis-resilient future and underscored the value of multilateralism and the critical importance of global solidarity in overcoming our shared challenges.
