The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026

About The Book

With fewer than five years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026 examines a decade of global progress and the urgent action needed to deliver on the 2030 Agenda. While billions of people have gained improved access to clean water, electricity, healthcare and social protection, progress remains uneven, with many targets still off track.

Drawing on the latest global data, the report highlights achievements across all 17 SDGs, identifies the challenges slowing progress, including climate change, conflict and financing gaps, and outlines practical priorities for accelerating action. It also explores the growing role of data and artificial intelligence in driving evidence-based decision-making.

Combining data, analysis and practical insights, The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026 is both a progress report and a call to action. It provides policymakers, businesses, development partners and citizens with the evidence needed to understand today's challenges and the solutions capable of delivering a more sustainable, equitable and resilient future, showing that while time is running short, the promise of the SDGs remains within reach if the world acts decisively.
