US EditionUN Says Development Goals Progress 'Insufficient' 10 Years On
GLOBAL, JUL 14 – Only 35% of Sustainable Development Goals are progressing, while nearly half have stalled and 18% regressed, with over 800 million people still in extreme poverty, UN reports.
- On July 14, the United Nations published its 2025 assessment of progress made since the adoption of 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015.
- The report highlights that progress has stalled and challenges have arisen due to a slow rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing economic uncertainties, environmental disruptions, and weak economic performance in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Just over a third of the goals showed progress, nearly half remained unchanged, and 18 percent were moving backward, as hunger worsened and more than 800 million people continued to live in extreme poverty.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the situation as a "global development emergency" measured by the over 800 million people living in extreme poverty.
- Guterres urged the international community to act with urgency and unity in the next five years, highlighting that progress requires unlocking financing at scale.
