Watch the recording of the webinar on The impact of COVID 19 on SDG implementation in Asia Pacific: What role for parliaments? The webinar, which took place on 28 July 2020, was jointly organized with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) for the parliaments of the Asia-Pacific region.

As countries are now resetting their priorities and reallocating resources to deal with the pandemic, parliaments should be in a position to influence policies and budgets to ensure that the COVID-19 pandemic responses and recovery strategies embrace and incorporate the SDG framework in its entirety. Parliaments should also monitor policy implementation and ensure that the needs and concerns of the whole of society are given due consideration, with no one left behind.

This series of webinars aim to help parliaments achieve these tasks.
