The event – which concluded on Thursday, April 8 – drew the participation of 33 delegations from ECLAC’s Member States and 10 associate members, along with regional representatives and representatives of the United Nations System’s agencies, funds and programs, international organizations, academia and civil society.
During the meeting, countries called for fostering the production of national statistics to strengthen monitoring of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in its three dimensions (social, economic and environmental), recognizing the need to consolidate methodologies and ensure the regular production of data for environment-related indicators.
Furthermore, they agreed on the importance of producing information based on the measurement of perceptions to complement the information routinely collected on the physical living conditions of Latin America and the Caribbean’s population, in the context of generating official national statistics.
