This document contains ITU Council's contribution to the 2022 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), as per invitation extended to ITU's intergovernmental body by the President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) (see Annex 2).
At its 38th meeting on 20 January 2022, CWG-WSIS&SDG reviewed the draft input to be finalized through online consultations.
