Summary
Halfway to the deadline for the 2030 Agenda, the UN SDG Progress Report; Special Edition 2023 shows we are leaving more than half the world behind. Progress on more than 50 per cent of targets of the SDGs is weak and insufficient; on 30 per cent, it has stalled or gone into reverse. These include key targets on poverty, hunger and climate. Unless we act now, the 2030 Agenda risks becoming an epitaph for a world that might have been.
