The eighth session of the UN General Assembly’s (UNGA) Open Working Group (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will convene from 3-7 February 2014, at UN Headquarters in New York, US.

This will be the eighth and final “stocktaking” meeting of the group since the UNGA’s adoption of Decision 67/555, which established the composition of the OWG and thus followed-up on the outcome of the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD or Rio+20). Following OWG-8, five decision-making sessions of the OWG will take place, from March-July 2014.

OWG-8 will focus on the following topics:
*Oceans and seas, forests, biodiversity;
*Promoting equality, including social equity, gender equality and women's empowerment; and
*Conflict prevention, post-conflict peacebuilding and the promotion of durable peace, rule of law and governance.

In addition, an informal consultation will be held on the evening of 4 February 2014, during which member States will consider how to proceed following OWG-8.

IISD RS will produce daily web coverage and a summary and analysis from this session. Kindly return to this site on Monday, 3 February 2014, for more information.
