UIPU Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union

The High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) is the United Nations hub for the global review of progress toward the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a contribution to the HLPF, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) holds an annual Parliamentary Forum, which was designed to give parliamentarians participating in the HLPF an opportunity to discuss the main theme of the session and exchange experiences on SDGs implementation. The main theme of the 2020 session was ‘The Big Reset: Learning from COVID-19 to fast track the SDGs’.

The Honourable David McGuinty, P.C., M.P., President of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU), led a delegation of parliamentarians composed of the Honourable Peter Boehm, Senator, the Honourable Kim Pate, Senator, Ms. Julie Dzerowicz, M.P., Ms. Iqra Khalid, M.P. and Mr. Sven Spengemann, M.P. The delegates heard presentations from experts and discussed the importance of increasing support for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with fellow parliamentarians. Speakers emphasized that the COVID-19 pandemic has made the need to transition to more sustainable and equitable economic models all the more apparent. Mr. McGuinty and Senator Boehm spoke on behalf of the delegation, highlighting the cross-sectional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pursuing the SDGs and the need to translate principles into evidence-based policies that can win the support of constituents.
