En cada uno de estos casos, se han consolidado acuerdos intergubernamentales con una especial mirada de los problemas territoriales y de la man…
The Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Indicator Framework is endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission as the monitoring mechanism for the 169 targets and more than 230 indicators of the SDGs.
