The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, are a set of 17 goals aiming to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. They include targets such as eradicating hunger, achieving gender equality, ensuring access to clean water and sanitation, and reducing inequalities. While progress towards achieving the SDGs has been made, there is still a long way to go. According to the 2021 SDG Report, no country is on track to achieve all 17 goals by 2030. Some of the areas where progress has been made include:

• Reducing extreme poverty and hunger
• Increasing access to primary education
• Improving maternal and child health
• Increasing access to clean water and sanitation

However, there are areas where progress has been slower or even regressed, including:

• Reducing income inequality
• Addressing climate change and protecting biodiversity
• Ending gender-based violence and discrimination
• Ensuring access to affordable and clean energy

Overall, while progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
