With our 2030 deadline only five years away, this report delivers a grim message: the Sustainable Development Goals have improved millions of lives; however, the current pace of change is insufficient to fully achieve goals by the deadline.

The 10th annual SDG progress report is a critical milestone, revealing both successes and shortcomings in the pursuit of sustainable development. In the past 10 years, the world has made strides in expanding access to education, bridging the digital divide, improving healthcare, and reducing the burden of infectious diseases like HIV and malaria. However, the newest report shows that only 35 percent of targets are on track or making moderate progress, while almost half are moving too slowly. Additionally, 18 percent have even regressed. This report calls for action across food systems, energy access, digital transformation, jobs and social protection, biodiversity, and education. Regardless of past inadequacies, notable successes prove that progress is achievable with strong institutions and sound policies.
