Dates for IPCI/ICPD Ottawa confirmed

BRUSSELS, 27 June – It has been confirmed that IPCI 2018 will be taking place in Ottawa Canada, from 22-23 October.

Around 300 parliamentarians, ministers, and invited experts are scheduled to attend the 2018 IPCI/ICPD conference which is taking place at a crucial time for the international community, as 2019 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Cairo agenda and the need for a renewed global political consensus has never been so evident.

In Ottawa, organizers (UNFPA, regional parliamentary networks and our Canadian hosts) therefore expect parliamentary delegates to generate a forward-looking, action-oriented declaration that builds upon the previous IPCI Commitments and charts a clear direction for the ICPD mandate in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
