- Eight years after the world committed to end poverty, protect the planet, and deliver peace and prosperity for all by 2030, just 12% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are on track to be achieved and almost a third are no closer to being achieved than they were in 2015.
- Whilst gender equality is a critical accelerator of progress across the SDG goals, it has also become a battlefield in the age of increasing political fragmentation.
- Gender equality is the focus of the nine targets in SDG 5, but less often recognised is that it is also a critical determinant of progress for all 169 SDG targets
- A recent assessment by Equal Measures 2030 found that nearly three-quarters (73%) of the SDG targets are directly or significantly reliant on gender equality.
- At the UN in 2023, 38 countries and the EU provided summary key messages on their country’s progress towards the SDGs: just over half of them made no mention of gender equality, women or girls.
