The Index is prepared by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, Department of Global Communications, as one of the products of the United Nations Bibliographic Information System (UNBIS).

When a country leaves or “graduates from” the least developed countries (LDC) category, it ceases to benefit from international support measures that are exclusive to LDCs (in some cases, these measures are available for a set period after graduation, known as a smooth transition period). This Policy Note provides an overview of the expected impacts of the withdrawal of LDC-specific international support measures in Cambodia, Comoros, Djibouti, Senegal and Zambia. These countries met the Committee for Development Policy (CDP)’s graduation thresholds for the first time in 2021 and, according to the established procedures will be assessed again in 2024, when they may be recommended for graduation.

A year and a half into the pandemic, progress towards expanding women’s rights and opportunities continues to be tested and impeded. Women’s economic losses have not rebounded, hunger is on the rise, and school closures threaten to destroy girl’s educational gains. Women’s participation in government, research and resource management remains far from equal. Vulnerable groups of women - including migrants, those with disabilities and those affected by conflict – are too frequently left out and left behind and disparities between rich and poor countries are preventing equal access to lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. But swift action and targeted interventions can halt the decline and drive forward equal rights for women and girls. The 2021 Gender Snapshot: Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals brings together the latest evidence on gender equality across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals, taking stock of the progress achieved and the challenges that remain.

Are we on track to achieve Goal 5? On 24 and 25 September 2019, Heads of State and Government gathered at UN Headquarters in New York to comprehensively review progress on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To inform those discussions, UN Women and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs have released “Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The gender snapshot 2019”. This publication brings together the latest available evidence on gender equality across all 17 Goals, underscoring the progress made as well as the action still needed to accelerate progress.

The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022 presents how far we have come towards reaching the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This seventh edition of the annual report also looks at the trends since 2015 and impact of COVID-19 on the progress. It uses the latest available data and inputs from custodian agencies of the United Nations system other international agencies and is prepared by the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

The publication assesses progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the UNECE region (Europe, Noth America, and Central Asia) relying on most recent internationally available data and offers stories on how regional and country-level actions relate to sustainable development outcomes. The progress assessment identifies the targets on which the region is on track, where progress needs to accelerate, and where course has to be reversed. Comparison with the previous assessment brings out the impact of the pandemic on the progress towards SDGs. A closer look is taken at gender issues that cut across many Sustainable Development Goals.

The United Nations population estimates and projections form a comprehensive set of demographic data to assess population trends at the global, regional and national levels. The 2017 Revision of World Population Prospects represents the latest global set of demographic estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. It constitutes the twenty-fifth round of global population estimates and projections produced by the Population Division since 1951. This volume of the 2017 Revision presents the demographic profiles of the official United Nations population estimates and projections. The demographic profiles display key demographic indicators for selected periods or dates between 1950-2100, for the world, development groups, regions, subregions and countries or areas with more than 90,000 inhabitants in 2017. In all tables and figures, values for 1950-2015 are estimates and those thereafter are projections (medium variant). For each country or area, the volume also provides a brief description of the data sources and demographic methods that were used to derive the base-year estimates.

The global economic recession and financial turmoil from Covid-19 are derailing implementation of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Even before the pandemic, this report of the Inter-agency Task Force noted that there was backsliding in many areas. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, global financial markets have witnessed heavy losses and intense volatility. Particularly worrisome is the prospect of a new debt crisis. The report highlights both immediate and longer-term actions, including arresting the backslide, to respond to the global pandemic.

This volume of the 2017 Revision presents the comprehensive tables of the official United Nations population estimates and projections, displaying key demographic indicators for selected periods or dates from 1950 to 2100, for the world, development groups, regions, subregions, and countries or areas with more than 90,000 inhabitants in 2017. For countries or areas with fewer than 90,000 inhabitants in 2017, only figures related to population size and growth are provided. In all data tables, figures for 1950-2015 are estimates and those thereafter are projections. The projections are presented for the medium, high, low and constant-fertility variants.

This report investigates how European Union space technologies support the fulfilment of the SDGs. It has been jointly prepared by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA)—in charge of promoting international cooperation in the peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the utilization of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development—and the European GNSS Agency (GSA), which is the European Union agency operating EGNOS and Galileo and is in charge of ensuring the maximization of socioeconomic benefits from the use of the European Union satellite navigation systems. The analysis shows that all the SDGs are positively impacted by the benefits stemming from the use of European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (EGNSS) and Copernicus applications and, out of the 169 indicators associated, 65 (almost 40 per cent) directly benefit from using the EGNSS and Copernicus services, either helping monitor the status of achievement of a given SDG or actively contributing to its fulfilment.

Cette édition spéciale lance un puissant appel à l'action, en présentant une évaluation franche des Objectifs de développement durable ( ODD) basée sur les dernières données et estimations. Tout en soulignant les lacunes existantes et en exhortant le monde à redoubler d'efforts, le rapport souligne également l'immense potentiel de réussite grâce à une forte volonté politique et à l'utilisation des technologies, des ressources et des connaissances disponibles. Ensemble, la communauté mondiale peut relancer les progrès vers la réalisation des ODD et créer un avenir meilleur pour tous. Selon le rapport, les impacts de la crise climatique, la guerre en Ukraine, la faiblesse de l’économie mondiale et les effets persistants de la pandémie de COVID-19 ont révélé des faiblesses et entravé les progrès vers la réalisation des objectifs. Le rapport prévient en outre que même si l’absence de progrès est universelle, ce sont les plus pauvres et les plus vulnérables du monde qui subissent les pires effets de ces défis mondiaux sans précédent. Il souligne également les domaines qui nécessitent une action urgente pour sauver les ODD et réaliser des progrès significatifs pour les populations et la planète d’ici 2030.

General Assembly Official Records Seventy-seventh Session Supplement No. 49

The latest available Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 data show that the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. COVID-19 and the backlash against women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are further diminishing the outlook for gender equality. Violence against women remains high; global health, climate, and humanitarian crises have further increased risks of violence, especially for the most vulnerable women and girls; and women feel more unsafe than they did before the pandemic. Women’s representation in positions of power and decision-making remains below parity. Only 47 per cent of data required to track progress on SDG 5 are currently available, rendering women and girls effectively invisible. Nearly halfway to the 2030 endpoint for the SDGs, the time to act and invest in women and girls is now. “Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The gender snapshot 2022” presents the latest evidence on gender equality across all 17 Goals, calling out the long road ahead to achieve gender equality. It emphasizes the interlinkages among the goals, the pivotal force gender equality plays in driving progress across the SDGs, and women and girls’ central role in leading the way forward.

This report is issued in response to Article 98 of the UN Charter, which mandates the Secretary-General to provide an annual report to the General Assembly on the work of the Organization. The Report covers nine sections: (i) promotion of sustained economic growth and sustainable development; (ii) maintenance of international peace and security; (iii) development in Africa; (iv) promotion of human rights; (v) effective coordination of humanitarian assistance; (vi) promotion of justice and international law; (vii) disarmament; (viii) drug control, crime prevention and combating international terrorism; and (ix) effective functioning of the Organization. In particular the report highlights how the UN Secretariat translates resources into impact across priority areas.

On the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, the world has faced its biggest shared test since the Second World War in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Yet while our welfare, and indeed the permanence of human life, depend on us working together, international cooperation has never been harder to achieve. This report answers a call from UN Member States to provide recommendations to advance our common agenda and to respond to current and future challenges. Its proposals are grounded in a renewal of the social contract, adapted to the challenges of this century, taking into account younger and future generations, complemented by a new global deal to better protect the global commons and deliver global public goods. Through a deepening of solidarity—at the national level, between generations, and in the multilateral system—Our Common Agenda provides a path forward to a greener, safer and better future.

En el 75º aniversario de las Naciones Unidas, el mundo se topó con la mayor prueba de fuego que le ha tocado afrontar en conjunto desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial: la pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19). No obstante, aunque nuestro bienestar y, de hecho, la continuidad de la vida humana dependen de que trabajemos codo a codo, la cooperación internacional nunca ha sido tan difícil de lograr. Este informe atiende a la solicitud formulada por los Estados Miembros de las Naciones Unidas de que se presentaran recomendaciones para promover nuestra agenda común y responder a los desafíos actuales y futuros. Las propuestas que se hacen en él se basan en la renovación del contrato social, adaptado a los desafíos de este siglo, considerado con las generaciones más jóvenes y futuras, y complementado por un nuevo pacto global con el que proteger mejor los bienes comunes globales y suministrar bienes públicos globales. Partiendo de la premisa de que debe acrecentarse la solidaridad —a nivel nacional, entre generaciones y en el sistema multilateral—, Nuestra Agenda Común traza un camino hacia adelante en pos de un futuro más verde, más seguro y mejor.

Au moment de célébrer le soixante-quinzième anniversaire de l'Organisation des Nations Unies, le monde a dû faire face à la plus grande épreuve collective qu'il ait eu à surmonter depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale: la pandémie de maladie à coronavirus (COVID-19). Alors même que notre bien-être et la pérennité de la vie humaine ne peuvent être assurés que si nous sommes capables de collaborer, la coopération internationale se dérobe chaque jour davantage. Le présent rapport a été établi à la requête des États Membres, qui ont démandé que leur soient présentées des recommandations visant à faire avancer notre programme commun et à relever les défis actuels et futurs. Dans les propositions qui y sont formulées, on préconise avant tout de bâtir un nouveau contrat social adapté aux enjeux du siècle, de faire une place aux jeunes et aux générations futures et de nouer un nouveau pacte mondial qui permette de mieux protéger les communs mondiaux et de fournir des biens publics mondiaux. Appelant à une plus grande solidarité – dans chaque pays, entre générations et au sein du système multilatéral –, notre programme commun ouvre la voie à un avenir meilleur, plus vert et plus sûr.

The next edition of the World Population Prospects will be the twenty-seventh set of global population estimates and projections published by the United Nations. It will provide comprehensive and consistent data for all countries and areas, describing levels and trends in population size by age and sex and in the three components of population change (fertility, mortality and international migration) at the national, regional and global levels. The new data will incorporate the first results from the 2020 round of population and censuses (those conducted by early 2020) and the most recent data available on births, deaths and international migration coming from surveys and registration systems worldwide. The report will summarize key population trends based on the World Population Prospects 2022 data set, focusing on the period from 1950 to 2050 while also discussing the long-term implications of global population trends during the second half of the current century.

It is increasingly being acknowledged that the State is a key actor in the development process. It has a major role to play in making globalization work for all; in alleviating poverty and income inequality; in advancing human rights and democracy; in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development; and in managing violent conflict and combating international crime. This new report will be published every two years and intends to review major trends and issues concerning public administration and governance. It will analyze the challenges faced by governments in reforming particular areas of their public sector, and highlight best practices in public administration and/or national reforms, which may serve as a useful reference to other countries modernizing their public administration systems. This publication will provide policy makers, scholars, and the civil society with relevant information, data and research findings on issues related to the public sector.

Esta publicación hace un balance de las tendencias recientes en el panorama digital global basado en datos, examinando las oportunidades y desafíos para que los países en desarrollo se beneficien. Destaca los vínculos con los impactos de la pandemia de Covid-19, que condujeron a una aceleración de las tendencias de digitalización y un aumento significativo en los flujos de datos transfronterizos. Con un enfoque en la perspectiva del desarrollo, considera además las implicaciones de los flujos de datos transfronterizos y su regulación, teniendo en cuenta los debates en curso y proporcionando una revisión de la literatura relacionada. Analiza varias políticas que los países están aplicando con respecto a los flujos de datos transfronterizos y explora las ventajas y desventajas, particularmente para los países en desarrollo, al tiempo que aborda la evolución de los diferentes enfoques de la regulación a nivel internacional y regional. Finalmente, el informe concluye con recomendaciones de política para establecer un enfoque equilibrado para facilitar el progreso en la regulación productiva de los flujos de datos transfronterizos.

The Uganda Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Review supports Ugandan development aspirations which require that its national science, technology and innovation (STI) plans and programmes make an effective contribution to its social and economic development. Strengthening national innovation performance is required to improve the competitiveness of Ugandan firms and industries competing in the global economy. Furthermore, like all other countries, Uganda is facing the challenges of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here, as well, technology and innovation are increasingly important factors of success.

Los últimos datos disponibles para el Objectivos de Desarrollo Sostenbile (ODS 5) señalan que el mundo no está en camino de alcanzar la igualdad de género de aquí a 2030. El COVID-19 y la oposición a la salud y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de las mujeres reducen todavía más las perspectivas para la igualdad de género. Los niveles de violencia contra las mujeres siguen siendo altos; las crisis sanitarias, climáticas y humanitarias incrementaron aún más los riesgos de violencia, sobre todo para las mujeres y niñas más vulnerables, mientras que las mujeres se sienten más inseguras que antes de la pandemia. La representación de las mujeres en los cargos de poder y toma de decisiones se mantiene por debajo de la paridad. Actualmente se dispone únicamente del 47% de los datos necesarios para supervisar el progreso en el ODS 5, lo que, a efectos prácticos, resta visibilidad a las mujeres y niñas. Casi a mitad de camino para alcanzar el punto de llegada en 2030 para los ODS, es momento de actuar e invertir en las mujeres y niñas. En El progreso en el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Panorama de género 2022, se presenta la evidencia más reciente en materia de igualdad de género en los 17 objetivos, y se alerta sobre el largo camino por delante hasta alcanzar la igualdad de género. También se hace hincapié en la relación entre las metas, el papel crucial de la igualdad de género para impulsar el progreso en la totalidad de los ODS, y la función central de las mujeres y niñas para marcar el camino.

Cette publication est le dernier volet de la série annuelle produite conjointement par ONU Femmes et le DESA. Elle fournit une analyse exhaustive des progrès réalisés sur le plan de l’égalité entre les sexes dans le cadre des 17 objectifs de développement durable (ODD). À mi-parcours du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030, le monde ne parvient pas à instaurer l’égalité entre les sexes, ce qui en fait un objectif de plus en plus lointain. Si les tendances actuelles se poursuivent, plus de 340 millions de femmes et de filles vivront encore dans l’extrême pauvreté d’ici à 2030, et près d’une sur quatre souffrira d’une insécurité alimentaire modérée ou grave. La hausse de la vulnérabilité causée par des changements climatiques d’origine humaine devrait encore aggraver la situation, puisque près de 236 millions de femmes et de filles supplémentaires souffriraient d’insécurité alimentaire si le scénario climatique le plus pessimiste venait à se concrétiser. L’écart entre les sexes dans les postes de pouvoir et de direction reste bien ancré, et, au rythme où vont les choses, la nouvelle génération de femmes consacrera encore, en moyenne, 2,3 heures de plus par jour que les hommes aux tâches domestiques et soins non rémunérés. Aucun pays n’est en bonne voie pour éradiquer les violences de la part d’un partenaire intime, et la part des femmes à des postes à responsabilités sur le lieu de travail demeurera inférieure à la parité même à l’horizon 2050. Des progrès notables ont été accomplis en matière d’éducation des filles, mais les taux d’achèvement demeurent sous le seuil universel. L’heure tourne et l’urgence se fait sentir. Ce rapport plaide pour une approche holistique et intégrée pour assurer la réalisation de l’égalité entre les sexes, fondée sur une collaboration pluripartite et un soutien financier permanent. Si l’on n’intensifie pas les efforts et si l’on n’investit pas dans l’égalité entre les sexes, c’est le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 tout entier qui sera en danger.

Esta publicación es la entrega más reciente de la serie anual que producen en conjunto ONU Mujeres y el Departamento de Asuntos Económicos y Sociales de las Naciones Unidas. El informe contiene un análisis integral del progreso en materia de igualdad de género en los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). A mitad del camino para el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible, el mundo está fracasando en su intento de alcanzar la igualdad de género, lo que la convierte en un objetivo cada vez más lejano. De continuar las tendencias actuales, más de 340 millones de mujeres y niñas vivirán todavía en la pobreza extrema de aquí a 2030, mientras que aproximadamente una de cada cuatro experimentará inseguridad alimentaria moderada o grave. La creciente vulnerabilidad que trae consigo el cambio climático provocado por el ser humano, probablemente empeorará este panorama, ya que 236 millones más de mujeres y niñas experimentarán inseguridad alimentaria en el peor de los escenarios climáticos. La brecha de género en la esfera del poder y el liderazgo se mantiene arraigada y, al ritmo de progreso actual, la próxima generación de mujeres todavía deberán dedicar en promedio 2,3 horas más por día al trabajo doméstico y de cuidados no remunerado que los hombres. Ningún país está cerca de lograr la erradicación de la violencia en la pareja, y la proporción de mujeres en cargos directivos en la esfera laboral persistirá por debajo de la paridad incluso después de 2050. Si bien se ha alcanzado un progreso razonable en la educación de las niñas, las tasas de finalización de los estudios se mantienen por debajo de la marca universal. El reloj va marcando las horas y la urgencia aumenta. En el informe se promueve un enfoque integrado y global para fomentar la igualdad de género, que cuente con la colaboración de múltiples partes interesadas y un apoyo financiero sostenido. Si no se intensifican los esfuerzos y la inversión en la paridad de género, se corre el riesgo de no cumplir con la totalidad de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible.

Un an et demi après le début de la pandémie, les progrès vers l'élargissement des droits et des opportunités des femmes continuent d'être mis à l'épreuve et entravés. Les pertes économiques des femmes n'ont pas cessé, la faim augmente et les fermetures d'écoles menacent de détruire les acquis scolaires des filles. La participation des femmes au gouvernement, à la recherche et à la gestion des ressources est loin d'être égale. Les groupes de femmes vulnérables - y compris les migrants, les personnes handicapées et celles touchées par les conflits - sont trop souvent laissés pour compte et les disparités entre les pays riches et pauvres empêchent un accès égal aux vaccins et traitements COVID-19 qui sauvent des vies. Mais une action rapide et des interventions ciblées peuvent stopper le déclin et faire avancer l'égalité des droits pour les femmes et les filles. Cette publication rassemble les dernières données probantes sur l'égalité des sexes dans les 17 objectifs de développement durable, faisant le point sur les progrès réalisés et les défis qui restent à relever.

The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024 presents how far we have come towards reaching the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The report warns that with just six years remaining to the 2030 deadline, and nearly a year from reaffirmed commitments at the SDG Summit, current progress falls far short of what is required to meet the targets outlined in the 2030 Agenda. The scarring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and growing climate chaos are hitting SDG progress hard. The report reveals that only 17 per cent of the SDG targets are on track, with nearly half showing minimal or moderate progress, and over one-third stalling or regressing. The report documents increasing global inequalities, with an additional 23 million people pushed into extreme poverty and over 100 million more suffering from hunger in 2022 compared to 2019. For the first time this century, per-capita GDP growth in half of the world’s most vulnerable nations is slower than that in advanced economies. Overall global health progress has decelerated alarmingly since 2015. Many countries have experienced declines in student math and reading skills. Wars are upending millions of lives. The number of forcibly displaced people has reached an unprecedented level, nearly 120 million by May 2024 and civilian casualties spiked by 72 per cent between 2022 and 2023. Environmental crises are threatening the foundations of planetary ecosystems. 2023 was the warmest year on record, with global temperatures nearing the critical 1.5°C threshold. Greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to reach new highs.

The Asia and the-Pacific SDG Progress Report 2024 is one of the annual flagship publications of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). It provides an overview of SDG Progress in the region which serves as a foundation for many other activities conducted by ESCAP and our partners. This year, the report shines the spotlight on success stories and trends, and the unique challenges faced in the different parts of the region. It draws out the priorities and opportunities for enhancing data availability on SDG indicators, especially for the most vulnerable population groups, which could help shape more equitable and inclusive development pathways strategies.
