Foreword

Today, the groups of countries in special situations – constituting the least developed countries (LDCs), the landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and the small island developing States (SIDS) – are home to an estimated 1.3 billion people, representing 17 per cent of the world’s population. Even though these countries have made progress in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, they continue to face significant challenges on their path towards a prosperous, equitable and sustainable future, within a context of multiple and intersecting vulnerabilities and constraints.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Zero Hunger

Decent Work and Economic Growth
