Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on Sustainable Development

In 2016, ECLAC Member States approved Resolution 700(XXXVI) 1 of Mexico, which created the Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on Sustainable Development. The Forum serves as a regional mechanism for the follow-up and review of the implementation and monitoring of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), their targets, their means of implementation, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development.
