Major Groups and Other Stakeholders (MGoS)

Major Groups and other Stakeholders (MGoS) were integral to the development and adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Since its adoption, MGoS have been actively working towards its implementation, through projects, initiatives, advocacy, knowledge-sharing, and monitoring of the 2030 Agenda. MGoS often work in partnership with other sectors, including governments.

Major Groups and other Stakeholders are also active in the annual follow-up and review process of the 2030 Agenda, which culminates in the annual High-Level Political Forum for Sustainable Development. MGoS interested in engaging in the High-Level Political Forum are invited to work within the self-organized Major Groups and other Stakeholders Coordination Mechanism (MGoS CM) by contacting the focal points of their relevant constituency below. 

The terms of reference for the MGoS CM can be found here.

Note: The major groups and other stakeholders are self-coordinated and independent from the UN Secretariat. The representatives of the major groups and other stakeholders are therefore NOT representatives of the United Nations nor are they staff. They are not authorized to enter into business arrangements on behalf of the United Nations nor are they permitted to use the United Nations’ name or logo for endorsement of an activity.
