"Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality" will be the theme of the 2019 UN High Political Forum on Sustainable Development, which will review in depth the following Goals:

• Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
  learning opportunities for all

  productive employment and decent work for all

  provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive
  institutions at all levels

ICAO undertook a thematic review of how its work contributes to the above-mentioned goals. This analysis was guided by 4 specific questions, which looked at progress and gaps; lessons learned; emerging issues; activities particularly ensuring inclusiveness; gaps in political guidance and policy recommendations on ways to accelerate progress in empowering people, ensuring inclusiveness and equality, and achieving SDGs. The results of the review are captured below.
