PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad & Tobago- It has been acknowledged that the Caribbean’s progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, was running behind, and that ECLAC and its Associate Members should deepen
engagement on sustainable development and identify where ECLAC can provide technical assistance to assist Associate Members with their needs.

This acknowledgement and commitment were made at a recent virtual inaugural meeting of the reconstituted United Nations (UN) Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Associate Members Working Group, where the Governments of eight Associate Members met with the representatives of the ECLAC Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

ECLAC and its Associate Members have committed to closer collaboration on the regional sustainable development agenda.

According to a press release from the Office of the Premier, Mrs Diane Quarless outlined the process by which the Associate Members could request development assistance from ECLAC and clarified the regional commission’s limitations and constraints.

Agreement to collaborate

The participants agreed to collaborate on preparation and participation for upcoming international meetings and forums, including the Thirtieth Conference of the Parties (COP 30) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Belem, Brazil and the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar.

The ECLAC Associate Members Working Group meeting was chaired by Virgin Islands Special Envoy Mr E. Benito Wheatley.

The Associate Members of ECLAC include Anguilla, Aruba, Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten, St Martin, Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) and United States Virgin Islands (USVI).
