TAP at the HLPF

The 2024 HLPF represents an important milestone with SDG 16 under review for a second time. Now past the “halfway point” to the 2030 Agenda, this year’s HLPF provides an important opportunity to reflect on backsliding progress towards SDG16+, and examine solutions for turning things around in the second half of implementation towards 2030. At the 2024 HLPF, the TAP Network will look to build further momentum around its #SDG16Now Campaign. See below for opportunities to get involved with us at the HLPF!
