  • The Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2026 was released by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
  • The report warns that the region is likely to miss 103 out of 117 measurable Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets by 2030.
  • Only 14 targets are currently on track, indicating that nearly 88% of goals are projected to be missed if present trends continue.
  • The report highlights severe regression in climate action, marine conservation, and biodiversity protection, which is undermining long-term economic and social progress.
  • Environmental challenges such as rising emissions, ecosystem degradation, and ocean pollution are major obstacles to achieving the 2030 Agenda.
  • However, the region shows relatively strong performance in industry, innovation, and infrastructure, particularly under SDG 9.
