The Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development is an annual gathering of governments and regional civil society coming together to share about the 17 UN Global Goals on the ground in the nations of Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development provides opportunity for community organizers to share the genuine situation people experience from the community to the city to the capital. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are the core currency in the conversation bringing together the country to prioritize what is necessary to improve from the neighborhood to the nation on sustainable development rooted in human rights, justice and freedom. The Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development provides a chance for civil society to share prior to the actual Voluntary National Review and also Voluntary Local Review at the UN High Level Political Forum at the UN Headquarters.
