According to the latest UN report, only 17% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets are on track to be achieved by 2030. The 2023 SDG report highlights the severe setbacks caused by intersecting global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the ongoing climate crisis, and a weak global economy. These challenges have significantly reversed progress, pushing millions into hunger and poverty, and exacerbating inequalities. UNSD (indiaslivenews.com)
The report underscores that the world’s most vulnerable populations are bearing the brunt of these crises. Key areas needing urgent action include poverty reduction, hunger eradication, health improvements, and achieving gender equality. Without accelerated efforts, the ambitious goals set for 2030 may remain unmet. UNSD (indiaslivenews.com)
