Please join the high-level side event “Advancing the ICPD25 commitments in the context of sustainable development using a framework of sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice” at the 56th session of the UN Commission on Population and Development. The event will be held by UNFPA in partnership with the governments of Denmark, Kenya, and South Africa, as well as IPPF, and will feature co-Chair H.E. The Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean and members of the High Level Commission on the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 Follow-up.
The event – at which UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem will deliver remarks – offers an opportunity to reflect on the gains and gaps in progress since the Nairobi Summit and will provide a platform for sharing good practices and lessons learned in advancing the voluntary ICPD25 commitments, as well as opportunities for further implementation.
The event will reference the Commission’s 2021 report “No Exceptions, No Exclusions: Realizing sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice for all” and 2022 report “Sexual and reproductive justice as the vehicle to achieve the Nairobi Summit commitments.” It will shine a light on the recommendations contained in these well-received, authoritative reports by the High Level Commission, and will offer an opportunity to renew the commitment to the accelerated implementation of the landmark ICPD Programme of Action as key for the achievement of Sustainable Development, and as the ICPD30 review process takes off.
Date and time: Monday, 10 April 2023, 13:15-14:30 EDT
