HLPF
High-Level Political Forum
The High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), held every summer at the United Nations Headquarters, is a meeting to assess the progress and challenges of implementing the SDGs in United Nations member states around the world, and to set goals. Starting from this meeting with ministerial level participation, all sectors including civil society, youth, and academia will participate from their respective regions. From the establishment of JYPS until 2019, we have been sending representatives to attend HLPF in-person every year.
ECOSOC
Youth Forum
The ECOSOC Youth Forum is one of the most active forums for youths to exchange ideas for the HLPF. JYPS is involved in awareness raising, networking, and preparation of the ECOSOC Youth Forum outcome document through organising side events and publishing statements. The outcome document will be fed into the national agenda at the ECOSOC plenary session, hence it can influence and promote change beyond countries.
In 2018, five secretariats from JYPS attended the Forum at United Nations Headquarters in New York. We hosted a side event and also attended the main sessions.
NEA
North East Asia Multi-stakeholder Forum
This is a sub-regional forum where five countries in Northeast Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, Mongolia, and Russia) review the progress of the SDGs in preparation for the summer HLPF. In 2022, we were dispatched to Mongolia to give a speech at the multi-stakeholder forum.
In addition, each year, youth independently evaluate their own country's progress in achieving the SDGs and share this with participants from Northeast Asian countries. There are three forums: the Youth Forum, the Civil Society Forum, and the Multi-Stakeholder Forum, each of which will create a statement and absorb them in that order.
