- It was the 10th edition of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025.
- It was prepared by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).
- It warns that 35% of measurable SDG targets are stagnating or reversing, with five years left to 2030.
- Some 35 per cent of the targets under 14 of the 17 goals with measurable data have halted or are moving backward.
- The findings of the report are particularly alarming for five critical goals — Zero Hunger (SDG2), Quality Education (SDG4), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG6), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8) and Reduced Inequalities (SDG10) — where 50-57 per cent of the targets with data have stalled or deteriorated.
- Four other goals — the Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG12), Life Below Water (SDG14), Life on the Land (SDG15), and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG16) — too are also not faring much better, with 40 to 42 per cent of their measurable targets off-track.
- The Sub-Saharan Africa saw the highest rate, with 23.2 per cent of its population facing hunger, while the Southern Asia remained home to the largest absolute number of hungry people — 281 million.
