Abstract
The joint report explores how regional and global cooperation can support the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda in the Asia-Pacific region. It looks at the means available in the region as well as the regional and global partnerships that will need to be leveraged to address development constraints and successfully implement the new development agenda. In line with the theme of the present session, the joint report will inform the ongoing policy debates on the means of implementation of the sustainable development goals.
