Parliament adopted its resolution on delivering the Sustainable Development Goals ahead of the 2026 High-Level Political Forum by 374 votes to 185 , with 74 abstentions. The EPP, S&D, Renew and Greens/EFA carried the text; the PfE, ECR and ESN voted against, while The Left largely abstained. As an own-initiative resolution, the text has no direct legal effect, but it sets out Parliament's formal political position on the EU's approach to the SDGs and is intended to press the Commission and the Council to keep the goals central to EU policy in the run-up to the UN forum. The vote divided opinion along a left-right line: the centre and centre-left, together with the Greens/EFA, supplied nearly all the support, while the PfE and ESN opposed it unanimously and the ECR almost entirely. The Left withheld support by abstaining, and the EPP itself was not fully united, with a group of its members breaking from the majority.
