Abstract :

This document contains the contribution of the ITU Council submitted on 3 March by the Chair of the ITU Council to the 2025 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), in response to the annual invitation extended to ITU's intergovernmental body by the President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
Within the context of the annual theme 'Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for leaving no one behind,' the input provided offers views, findings, research, data, and policy recommendations. It also includes Annex 1, which specifically explores the role of ICTs and ITU's contributions towards achieving several key Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages), SDG 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls), SDG 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all), SDG 14 (Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development), and SDG 17 (Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development), to be reviewed in-depth at the HLPF-2025.
