This conference was organised to advance and accelerate regional action on the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as Agenda 2030. The conference was hosted by the Government of Jamaica and organized by the United Nations in the Caribbean in partnership with the University of the West Indies.

Governments, academia, civil society, UN staff and youth came together for the three day conference  to design a way forward for the Caribbean region. As these major partners involved interacted and strengthened their collaborative relationships, the United Nations Multi-country Sustainable Development Framework (UN MSDF) found a new vitality that will drive the success of the framework in the English and Dutch Speaking Caribbean, to create a Caribbean we want.
