Regional progress

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Asia and the Pacific will take an extraordinary collective effort. On its current trajectory, the region will not meet any of the 17 goals by 2030. Stepping up climate action stands out as an immediate priority across the region, as does working to reduce the inequalities that impact women and girls, populations in rural areas and the urban poor. Small island developing States face the steepest climb as the progress they had made was lost to the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and they continue to lag behind the rest of the region after two years of recovery.
