Advancing the ICPD25 Commitments Using a Framework…

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" on the sidelines of the 56th session of the UN Commission on Population and Development, convened by UNFPA in partnership with the Governments of Denmark, Kenya, and South Africa, and IPPF, as co-sponsors, and featuring co-Chair H.E. The Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean and members of the High Level Commission on the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 Follow-up.

This side event will offer an opportunity to reflect on the gains and gaps in the 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. Referencing the Commission's 2021 report "No Exceptions, No Exclusions: Realizing sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice for all" and its 2022 report "Sexual and Reproductive Justice as the vehicle to achieve the Nairobi Summit commitments", the event will also shine a light on the recommendations contained in these well received, authoritative reports by the High Level Commission, and 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.
