Asia Regional Workshop: SDG 14.b and Its Associated Indicator 14.b.1
In response to the request from Member countries of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) to support national-level efforts to achieve and report on Sustainable Development Goal Target 14.b, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in collaboration with INFOFISH is convening a virtual workshop on SDG 14.b and its associated indicator 14.b.1. To date, no regional activity has been undertaken in Asia to discuss and explore SDG 14.b and its associated indicator 14.b.1. The proposed workshop will bring together reporting and non-reporting countries and provide an opportunity to share experiences towards the goal of increasing the number of countries reporting on and validating the indicator.
