Guterres launches SDGS Report

At the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that the failure to secure peace, to confront climate change, and to boost international finance is undermining development.

He reiterated that the world must accelerate action for the Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024 details the significant challenges the world is facing in making substantial strides towards achieving the SDGs based on the latest data and estimates.

It features areas with setbacks while also showcasing where tangible progress has been made, for instance, in reducing global child mortality, preventing HIV infection, and access to energy and mobile broadband. The report also highlights where action must accelerate, particularly in critical areas undermining SDG progress.
