“So our preliminary assessment of the roughly 140 targets, with data shown only about 10 percent are on track to be reached by 2030. Close to half are moderately or severely off track, and some 30 percent have either seen no movement, or regressed below the 2015 baseline.

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Navid Hanif, Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development:
“575 million people will still be living in extreme poverty by 2030. Shockingly, the world is back at hunger levels not seen since 2005. And the way things are going it will take more than 86 years to close gender gaps in legal protection and remove discriminatory laws.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Navid Hanif, Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development:
“The impacts of underinvestment and learning losses are such that by 2030 Some 84 million children will be out of school and 3 million children or young people who attend school will be unable to read and write. These are disturbing trends.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Astra Bonini, Senior Sustainable Development Officer, Division for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA):
“It is a sobering update on where the SDGs stand at the halfway point to 2030. But as ASG Hanif emphasized the reports messages really convey that it's not too late to change course and humanity has done this many challenging points in history. And by committing to a rescue plan for people and planet it is possible to turn things around.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Astra Bonini, Senior Sustainable Development Officer, Division for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA):
“The report on progress toward the SDGs can be a source of hope, giving practical guidance about how to pivot from a course that is currently aiming in the wrong direction toward one of sustainability and equality. And it sets the stage for global national and local commitments at the SDG Summit.”

Storyline

Of the roughly 140 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), only about 10 percent are on track to be reached by 2030, close to half are moderately or severely off track, and some 30 percent have either seen no movement or regressed below the 2015 baseline, according to a new UN report.

Briefing journalists on Wednesday (26) on a special edition of the SDGs progress report, the Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Navid Hanif, informed that “575 million people will still be living in extreme poverty by 2030.”

Hanif added, “Shockingly, the world is back at hunger levels not seen since 2005. And the way things are going it will take more than 86 years to close gender gaps in legal protection and remove discriminatory laws.”

According to the Assistant Secretary-General, “the impacts of underinvestment and learning losses are such that by 2030 Some 84 million children will be out of school and 3 million children or young people who attend school will be unable to read and write.”

“These are disturbing trends,” concluded Hanif.

Also briefing journalists in New York, the Senior Sustainable Development Officer at the Division for SDGs of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), Astra Bonini, called the report “a sobering update on where the SDGs stand at the halfway point to 2030.”

But, Bonini added, the report’s messages “really convey that it's not too late to change course and humanity has done this many challenging points in history” and “by committing to a rescue plan for people and planet it is possible to turn things around.”

For Bonini, “the report on progress toward the SDGs can be a source of hope, giving practical guidance about how to pivot from a course that is currently aiming in the wrong direction toward one of sustainability and equality.”

The expert also said the report “sets the stage for global national and local commitments at the SDG Summit”, that will be convened on 18-19 September 2023, during the United Nations General Assembly high-level week.
