Kathmandu: The 2026 ECOSOC High-level Segment concluded with the adoption of the Ministerial Declaration of the High-level Segment of the 2026 session of ECOSOC with consensus, reaffirming the shared commitment to advancing the 2030 Agenda was concluded on July 17.
The Ministerial Declaration reminds that even in difficult times, dialogue can build consensus, and multilateral cooperation remains the strongest instrument for advancing sustainable development.
Over the past days, the clear call for action is heard: to translate the Sevilla Commitment into investment for sustainable development; to harness science, technology and innovation—particularly digital transformation—in ways that are inclusive and bridge, rather than deepen, inequalities; to strengthen resilience through sustainable infrastructure, clean energy and climate action; and to empower cities, local communities and young people as partners in delivering the SDGs.
