The International Federation for Sustainability and Justice (IFSJ) participated in the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD), convened by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), as part of its institutional engagement within the ECOSOC framework.

The APFSD is an annual, high-level intergovernmental forum serving as the United Nations’ principal regional platform for sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific. It brings together governments, United Nations entities, international organizations, and selected stakeholders to assess progress, identify regional priorities, and shape policy dialogue on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Participation is not open and is limited to invited and accredited entities, including a small, restricted number of ECOSOC consultative status accredited NGOs. The Forum also contributes regional perspectives to global processes, including the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF).

IFSJ was accredited to the Forum through the UN civil society participation system and attended the conference in full as part of its continued participation in multilateral United Nations processes relating to sustainable development, international cooperation and policy dialogue.

During the Forum, IFSJ also took part in the SDG 6 roundtable discussion entitled “Investments for Water,” which examined policy conditions and financing models for mobilizing public and private investment in water-related infrastructure, with particular attention to least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), and small island developing states (SIDS).

In that context, IFSJ contributed perspectives on governance-related conditions affecting investment confidence, including legal clarity in water rights and long-term policy stability. Reference was also made to the Vienna Danube flood protection system as an example of sustained public investment and risk reduction through long-term infrastructure planning.
