In addition to the official process of the Major Groups coordination on their joint statements led by the Major Groups Facilitating Committee (MGFC), there are additional Regional Consultation meetings.

Jointly organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), they aimed to engage a broad range of stakeholder groups. Known as the UNEP/UNDP Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) initiative, this effort organised a series of regional multi-stakeholder consultations for Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, West Asia, and Europe.

Those regional consultations took place virtually during April and May 2022. They will use the KUDO multilingual web conferencing platform. To see the framing questions for these national and regional consultations, click here.
