RealKM Cooperative comments on Zero Draft of Ministerial Declaration of 2026 High-level Segment of UN Economic and Social Council and UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF)

The co-facilitators of the negotiations on the Ministerial Declaration of the high-level segment of the 2025 session of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) have circulated a “Zero Draft” Ministerial Declaration. In a letter dated 31 March 2026, Permanent Representative of Albania Suela Janina and Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone Michael Imran Kanu invited comment on the Zero Draft.

As both events are important in advancing progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in these final years of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, RealKM Cooperative Limited has responded with the comments in the letter below. The comments reinforce key messages from the 2024 RealKM-KM4Dev-K4DP knowledge management (KM) and SDGs campaign and follow similar comments in March this year in a RealKM submission on the 2027 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR).
