In September 2025, the United Nations Secretary-General has appointed an Independent Group of Scientists (IGS) to draft the 2027 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR). As mandated by United Nations Member States, the 2027 GSDR will inform the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly the SDG Summit in September 2027, providing scientific guidance on the state of sustainable development globally, addressing emerging challenges, and offering actionable recommendations for governments and other stakeholders to better understand and navigate the complex relationships among social, environmental and economic development objectives in the last three years of SDG implementation and beyond. 

Contribute your inputs now to the 2027 GSDR! 

To support the work of the IGS preparing the 2027 GSDR, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) is launching an Open Call for Stakeholder Inputs with a view to:   

·       understanding stakeholder expectations for the 2027 GSDR, including what characteristics would make the report most relevant and useful;  

·       gathering examples of good practices and lessons learned in SDG implementation from practitioners working to strengthen science-policy-society interfaces at all levels, including what works at the local level and where the gaps are;  

·       identifying additional peer-reviewed assessments to complement the IGS’ own research.  

A pdf version of the open call is available here for reference. Responses must be submitted through the online form below:
