42,39€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

This research shows that many of the datasets for the three countries are not available in the Global SDG Indicators Database compiled through the United Nations system. This book supports the database update process by United Nation Statistics Division since it enhances the process of proper accounting in reporting progress. Furthermore, the book supports the enhancement of the adaptive capacity and resilience of small-scale farmers since it is critical to reverse the trend in the rise in hunger.<br><br><i>Concise Guides to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals</i> comprises 17 short books, each examining one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
