Only 17 percent of sustainable development goals (SDG) targets are on track for 2030, according to the Sustainable Development Report 2025 (SDR) released today by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)

Ten years since the adoption of the SDGs, progress remains alarmingly off-track. The five targets showing significant reversal in progress since 2015 include obesity rate (SDG 2), press freedom (SDG 16), sustainable nitrogen management (SDG 2), the red list index (SDG 15), which shows continuing deterioration in terms of species extinction risk around the world, and the corruption perception index (SDG 16).
