Handbook 2022 EN - Clean

201 22 Prepared and updated by DESA, October 2022 Purpose and aim of this Handbook This is a Handbook for countries in preparation of presenting voluntary national reviews (VNRs). It should be read in conjunction with the Secretary-General s proposal for voluntary common reporting guidelines for VNRs at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). The Secretary-General s guidelines are attached in the Handbook as Annex 2. This Handbook supplements the Secretary-General s guidelines in that it provides elementary building blocks and the basic, practical information on the steps that countries may take when preparing VNRs. It is not an exhaustive document. A range of other sources of information may further assist countries, some of which are indicated in the text. This document has been updated to reflect new information and dates. i Foreword The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all Member States of the United Nations in September 2015, provide a visionary roadmap for all countries and stakeholders to strive for a world of sustainable prosperity, social inclusion and equality while at the same time preserving our planet and leaving no one behind.

conjunction with the handbook: a checklist for VNR preparations and the revised Secretary-General's proposal for voluntary common reporting guidelines for VNRs. Though it can hardly be expected to do full justice to all the richness of the follow-up and review at the national level, I hope this handbook
