The world is off track. According to the latest progress report on sustainable development goals, of the 169 targets, only 14% are on track, while 20% are not even tracked. Disturbingly, 14% show regression, including critical areas like hunger, education, employment, and the environment. The first global stocktake highlights the urgency, showing that to meet temperature targets, emissions must drop by 43% by 2030, but current national commitments only achieve a 2% cut—pointing to gaps in both action and data.
