Sustainable Development Goals at Risk: UN Reports Reveal Lack of Progress
Reports from the United Nations (UN) and other international institutions have shown a significant decline in progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is despite an uptick in awareness of their importance and countries including them within their national action agendas.
The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015, aim to achieve “peace and prosperity for people and the planet.” Their overarching mission is to address challenges related to poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
However, recent reports suggest that they are in jeopardy.
