Advancing Pacific Priorities 2023 communicates efforts by the ESCAP Subregional Office for the in supporting Pacific SIDS in their implementation of the SDGs, the SAMOA Pathway, and effectively their own national sustainable development strategies and nationally determined contributions. It lists the key initiatives the Office has implemented in 2023 in close collaboration with Pacific member States, Pacific regional organizations, and the UN development system in the Pacific.
In 2024, ESCAP will continue to work with the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks in the Pacific. Pacific SIDS will be heavily involved in the process of adopting a revised SIDS agenda to replace the SAMOA Pathway, which ESCAP will continue to support. We look back at a very productive year with much satisfaction and look ahead to 2024.
