UNDP Calender

The second UN Ocean Conference was originally scheduled to take place from 2-6 June 2020, in Lisbon, Portugal, but was postponed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, until “public health conditions allow” in 2022. On 9 September 2021, the UNGA decided that the Conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 27 June to 1 July 2022. It is co-hosted by Kenya and Portugal. The UNGA mandated the appointment of co-facilitators to lead intergovernmental consultations on the Conference declaration and finalize the organizational arrangements no later than May 2022.

The formal name of the Conference is the “2022 United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14:  Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”.

The UN General Assembly will hold a high‑level meeting on improving global road safety in July 2022, as mandated in A/RES/75/308 adopted in July 2021. 

The 2030 Agenda contains two targets specifically addressing road safety: SDG target 3.6, to halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes (on which the UNGA passed a resolution in August 2020); and SDG target 11.2, to improve road safety in the provision of access to transport systems and expanding public transport. 

The theme of the high-level meeting will be 'The 2030 horizon for road safety:  securing a decade of action and delivery,' and it is expected to result in a political decision. The high-level meeting aims to:

• address gaps and challenges,
• mobilize political leadership,
• promote multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaboration, and 
• assess the progress made in attaining the objectives of the road safety-related SDG targets.

The high-level meeting will comprise an opening segment, a plenary segment, up to three multi-stakeholder thematic panel discussions and a brief closing segment. The themes of the multi-stakeholder panels will take into consideration the road safety-related SDG targets and their implementation gaps.

Organizational arrangements for the high-level meeting are to be finalized by the UNGA President.
