A regional set of targets and indicators have been used to account for national priorities and monitor the region’s progress against the 2030 Agenda and SDGs, the SAMOA Pathway, the Framework for Pacific Regionalism (FPR) and other key global and regional sustainable development commitments, including the Pacific Leaders Gender Equality Declaration (PLGED). [...] Leaders also agreed that the globally developed set of SDG targets and indicators needed to reflect the Pacific context and called for a country-led, open and inclusive process to identify a regional set of indicators that account for national priorities that could be used to jointly monitor the regional progress in implementing the 2030 Agenda, the SAMOA Pathway and the Framework for Pacific Regi. [...] The report also recognized that there are opportunities for accelerating development in the Pacific through the greater use of Pacific specific know-how; by acknowledging the regions significant biodiversity, oceanic resources and ability to work as a Blue Pacific collective; by increasing access to the use of ICT and by the greater use of renewable energy. [...] A number of socioeconomic impact surveys and assessments are being planned or undertaken, including by CROP and UN agencies in the Pacific, which will inform the way the Pacific responds as a region and in the context of the Framework for Pacific Regionalism, the Pacific Roadmap for Sustainable Development and the SAMOA Pathway. [...] Pacific Leaders have demonstrated their commitment to realize the rights of persons with disabilities through the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD); the adoption of the 2016 – 2025 Pacific Framework for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PFRPD); and enactment of national disability policies and legislation.
