HLG-PCCB

The outcome document of the 2024 UN World Data Forum in Medellín

The High-Level Group on Partnership, Coordination and Capacity-Building for statistics for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (HLG-PCCB) has drafted a new outcome document to be launched at the UNWDF 2024 on the 15 November 2024 in Medellín, Colombia. It was a working title of CTGAP 2.0 and it is designed as a second-generation document of the original Cape Town Global Action Plan for sustainable development data (shorthand reference CTGAP 1.0) launched at the first UN World Data Forum in January 2017.

This outcome document contains context with other international documents (i.e. Global Digital Compact, Pact of the Future, ...), twelve new priorities organized under four areas, a new set of actions, common terminology and a mapping of all these elements between CTGAP 2.0 and CTGAP 1.0.

The consultation will run from Thursday, 10 October to Thursday, 7 November 2024 and a draft version can be found as follows:
