Introductory remarks for the President of the session

On 25 September 2015 the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 70/1, containing the document “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action for people, the planet, prosperity, peace and partnership, which all countries and stakeholders, acting in collaboration, will implement. Two years and a half have passed since the Sustainable Development Goals are in force. Thirty-five European countries have already reported voluntarily to the United Nations High-level Political Forum on their implementation of Agenda 2030. Last year at the Regional Committee, the roadmap to implement the SDGs has been endorsed by all European Member States. This roadmap provides the strategic path for the implementation of the SDGs, fully aligned with the Global Program of Work.
