The national platform on the goals of sustainable development will be presented today in Minsk. The first national forum will be held in the capital. More than 400 hundred experts will attend the event: heads of ministries, public organizations, top management of the HTP, principals of universities. The Undersecretary General of the UN will address the participants via video communication. And the head of the UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and the CIS will speak personally at the forum.

17 sustainable development goals were adopted by the UN in September 2015. This is the elimination of poverty, the fight against inequality, the solution of climate problems. The world community highly appreciated the work of Belarus in this area. Last year our country for the first time participated in the World Economic Forum on Sustainable Development.
