Chapter3 evaluates policy progress made in key regional priorityareas; reviews particular policy success stories; and assessesthe enabling conditions for achieving the SustainableDevelopment Goals that include the natural environment asan important component/ consideration. Chapter 4 presentsa set of regional scenarios, and thereby provides insightsinto some of the options available to decision-makers asthey consider how to move the countries of the region ontomore sustainable development pathways.
