Sustainable Development Report Announced: The World Stagnates in Vital SDG Goals
20 Jun 2023Sustainable Development Report Announced: The World Stagnates in Vital SDG Goals
The Sustainable Development Report 2023, recently published by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN), draws attention to the stagnation in global progress in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report predicts that the SDG gap between high-income countries and low-income countries may be higher in 2030 than targeted in 2015.
The UNSDSN Sustainable Development Report, which includes the performance of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), warns that planning for 2030 has gone astray compared to the findings of 2023.
The report states that in order to achieve the SDGs by 2030, countries; He points out that they need to support a fundamental reform of the global financial architecture and double the SDG progress by implementing the SDG incentive to close the significant financing gap faced by developing and emerging countries.
Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and one of the lead authors of the report, continues by stating that the poorest and most vulnerable countries suffer the most from the deviation from the 2030 target set for the fulfillment of the SDGs:
“The international community must take steps to increase international financial flows based on SDG needs at upcoming key multilateral meetings, including the New Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris, the G20 meeting in New Delhi, the SDG Summit in New York, and COP 28 in Dubai. It would be unconscionable for the world to miss this opportunity, especially for the richest countries, to shirk their responsibilities. The SDGs remain a foundation for the future we want.”
The report states that no SDG target will be achieved if the current rate of progress since 2015 continues until 2030, and emphasizes the risk of losing the 10-year progress achieved.
The report finds that some of the most important lagging indicators of progress are subjective well-being, access to vaccination, poverty and unemployment.
The report shows that SDG targets on hunger, sustainable nutrition and health outcomes (SDG 2 and SDG 3), as well as terrestrial and marine biodiversity (SDG 14 and 15), air and plastic pollution (SDG 11 and SDG 12), and strong institutions and peaceful societies (SDG 16), have been off target, especially SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), since 2015. He notes that some progress has been made in strengthening access to basic infrastructure within the scope of SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).
The Sustainable Development Report 2023 points out that rich countries continue to create negative international spillovers, and considering consumption patterns, textiles and clothing are one of the most important sectors in terms of negative international spillovers of greenhouse gas emissions.
The report also strongly emphasizes the need for science-based tools at all levels to guide SDG actions and strengthen accountability.
