Overview of regional progress

Since 2015, the implementation of global agendas have hit several obstacles, including waning multilateralism and cooperation for global sustainable development, migrant crises, climate change, trade wars, worsening inequality, health crises and geopolitical conflict, all of which should serve to highlight the need for action. Throughout the region and the world, despite unprecedented recent challenges, countries have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to sustainable development.

However, eight years after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it would take extraordinary effort to achieve them by the target year of 2030.
