The 2022 ECOSOC Partnership Forum focused on the “Building back better from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. Multiple actors and stakeholders participated, including countries, the United Nations system, international financial institutions, as well as international organizations, parliamentarians, local governments, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, civil society, scientists, academia, women, youth and others. Participants debated solutions and policies to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic guided by the SDGs. They (a) exchanged new ideas, expectations and priorities which should be explored further by the Council and the high-level political forum in the following months; and (b) shined the spotlight on forward-looking actions and partnerships by countries and all relevant stakeholders that can help recover from the pandemic and accelerate progress towards the 2030 Agenda.
