Organized by the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), an Expert Group Meeting will discuss the first draft of Chapter 5 of the Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) 2015, dedicated to economic growth, inclusive and sustainable industrial development and sustainable consumption and production. The meeting will provide an opportunity for contributing agencies and partners to present their views and suggestions on the substantive content of the chapter and to develop a road map on how to proceed with its finalization within the available time frame. It is also expected that the meeting will contribute to the international debate on the sustainable development goals and post-2015 development agenda by helping to achieve a better articulation of the agenda related to economic growth, industrial production, technological progress and resource efficiency, and their linkages to the broader objectives of the new development agenda in terms of its social and environmental outcomes.

The GSDR is a UN publication aiming to strengthen the science-policy interface at the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), which replaced the Commission on Sustainable Development after Rio+20 as the main UN platform providing political leadership and guidance on sustainable development issues at the international level.

IISD Reporting Services will provide a briefing note of this meeting on Thursday, 5 March 2015.
