"Asia and the Pacific is recognized for its leadership in global output, trade and development. The region has a new opportunity to lead on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - a multidimensional, multisectoral and multiagency undertaking.
In 2016, the first year of implementation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our region faces significant challenges: prioritizing SDG implementation; pace and sequencing; meeting the massive data and statistics requirements; as well mobilizing the necessary means of implementation."
