The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024

The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024 outlines the substantial challenges the world faces in making meaningful progress toward achieving the SDGs based on the latest data and estimates. It highlights areas with setbacks while also showcasing tangible progress in areas like reducing global child mortality, preventing HIV infections, and increasing access to energy and mobile broadband. The report emphasizes the need for accelerated action in critical areas hindering SDG progress, such as climate change, peace and security, and inequalities within and between countries.

According to the report, with only six years remaining, current progress is insufficient to meet the SDGs. Without significant investment and increased action, achieving the SDGs the blueprint for a more resilient and prosperous world will remain out of reach. The lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and growing climate chaos have severely hindered progress. The report details urgent priorities and areas requiring stronger and more effective action to fulfil the 2030 promise of ending poverty, protecting the planet, and leaving no one behind.
