Implementing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is strongly tied to the implantation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Further work in implementing this framework is needed to ensure that persons with disabilities are not left behind.

Watch our interview with Mr. Colin Allen, President of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), at the 9th session of the Conference of States Parties to the CRPD.
