Welcome to the United Nations
Final Programme of Side-Events to the 2020 High-level Political Forum (16 July)
Side Events and Exhibitions at the 2020 HLPF under the auspices of ECOSOC were sponsored by Member States, the UN system and other intergovernmental organizations and the Major Groups and other accredited Stakeholders.
These side events and exhibitions of the HLPF- held outside the official programme- provided great opportunities to discuss this year’s theme, "Accelerated action and transformative pathways: realizing the decade of action and delivery for sustainable development ."
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic all side-events and exhibitions were held virtually. Despite the challenges, organizers made the adjustments to the virtual format and presented lively sessions and stimulating interactions via a number of different platforms.
The complete list of side-events can be found on the HLPF 2020 website under the PROGRAMME tab.
