The reports reveals new figures and sheds light on key policy recommendations that can help Caribbean countries achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Clark said the report is a sister to the Regional Human Development Report for Latin America and the Caribbean, which was launched in Panama in May. (YB)
