The UNGA also decided that the conference shall "involve all relevant stakeholders," bringing together governments, the UN system, intergovernmental organizations and all other actors to assess challenges and opportunities relating to, as well as actions taken toward, the implementation of Goal 14, the Xinhua news agency reported.
