Report shows lagging Sustainable Development Goals progress in the EU
Progress towards the SDGs was two times slower from 2020 to 2023 than the previous four years.
A new report on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Europe has found that “persistent challenges” are leading to slow progress and even reversal in some areas.
The analysis, published today by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), highlights five major SDG challenges the EU faces – namely in terms of inequality, environmental and biodiversity goals, unsustainable consumption and supply chains, wide variations in the pace of progress across member states, stagnation on peace and partnerships.
