Unanimously adopting a presidential statement (to be issued as S/PRST/2025/3 ), the 15-member Council also noted with appreciation the Secretary-General's report on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace on 27 December 2024 and took note of the Peacebuilding Commission's inputs for the 2025 review, through its letter dated 13 November 2024. It also acknowledged submission of a letter dated 21 November 2024 by the Group of Independent Eminent Persons and the inputs from thematic and regional consultations.
