No one in Asia-Pacific should be left behind
China DailyJIN DING/CHINA DAILY Based on the current rate of progress in Asia and the Pacific, the Sustainable Development Goals will only be achieved by 2062 — a sobering reminder of how much work remains. Our Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2024 shows that while the Goals are meant to be universal, their implementation varies significantly across different segments of the population. Filling the data gaps requires more investment in data systems, as well as better coordination for effective data sharing and increased use of the data within countries and by international partners. SIDS have made much slower progress towards the SDGs Stepping up climate action is an immediate priority, and we need to strengthen our capacity to address climate-related hazards and natural disasters.
