Regional webinar on national benchmarks for SDG4 in the Caribbean

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a global commitment to achieving a more sustainable future, addressing various priorities and challenges affecting both people and the planet. In this context, the Education 2030 Framework for Action emphasizes the need to establish appropriate intermediate benchmarks as an essential mechanism to ensure commitment and measure progress towards long-term goals. Given the current context of multiple global crises, this initiative becomes even more relevant.
