Integrating Population Dynamics, Technology and Research for Sustainable Development: Advancing WASH Outcomes (CPD59 Side Event).



Side event of the 59th Session of the Commission on Population and Development (CPD59) focusing on Integrating Population Dynamics, Technology and Research for Sustainable Development: Advancing WASH Outcomes.

The 59th Session of the Commission on Population and Development focuses on Population, Technology, and Research in the Context of Sustainable Development. The concept directly supports CPD59 by:
• Positioning population dynamics as a core determinant of development outcomes, including health, aging, fertility, migration, and urbanization.
• Highlighting technology as a transformative tool for demographic data systems, health delivery, and social protection.
• Emphasizing research and evidence as essential for designing population‑responsive, rights‑based, and inclusive policies
• Addressing digital, gender, geographic, and socioeconomic inequalities that shape population well‑being.
• Strengthening national capacities to anticipate demographic shifts and integrate them into sustainable development planning.

In essence, the concept operationalizes the CPD59 mandate to ensure that population trends, technological innovation, and research systems work together to advance sustainable development for all.
