The 13th Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD 13) was convened by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) from February 24–27, 2026 at the United Nations Conference Center in Bangkok, Thailand, under the theme "Transformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for a sustainable future for all." The forum brings together member states, UN agencies, civil society, youth, private-sector representatives, and academia to review regional progress on the Sustainable Development Goals — with this edition focusing on SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure), SDG 11 (sustainable cities), and SDG 17 (partnerships). APFSD 13 also supports countries preparing voluntary national reviews for the 2026 High-Level Political Forum and hosts associated events, including the Youth Forum, the Peoples' Forum, and SDG-action exhibitions.
