Despite measurable improvements in areas such as access to clean water, electricity, and internet connectivity, escalating conflicts, climate change, and declining official development assistance are exacerbating setbacks.

        "content": "<p>With only four years remaining, just 36 per cent of the assessable\ntargets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are on track, nearly\nhalf are stagnating, and 15 per cent are regressing. Since the adoption\nof the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, sustained\ninvestment, sound policies and international cooperation have improved\nthe lives of billions of people worldwide with measurable improvements\nacross the SDGs, according to The Sustainable Development Goals Report\n2026 released on Tuesday. Nearly 1 billion people have gained access to\nsafely managed drinking water, and 1.2 billion people have gained access\nto safely managed sanitation. New HIV infections fell by 30 per cent\nbetween 2015 and 2024, and AIDS-related deaths dropped by 35 per cent.\nElectricity now reaches 92 per cent of the world\u2019s population. Internet\naccess has increased from 40 per cent to 74 per cent. Social protection\ncovers more than half of the global population for the first time in\nhistory, the report stated. \u201cGuided by the data in this report, our\nvision of the 2030 Agenda remains within reach,\u201d UN Secretary-General\nAntonio Guterres said in the report. \u201cTogether, let us make the final\ndecisive push to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and build a\nhealthy and prosperous future for all.\u201d Despite the progress,\nsignificant challenges remain, the report indicated. One in ten people\nstill lives in extreme poverty. Around 2.3 billion people face moderate\nor severe food insecurity. More than 150 million children still suffer\nfrom stunting. Maternal mortality rates are nearly three times the\nglobal target. The number of people affected by climate-related\ndisasters has more than doubled since 2015, the report detailed. The\nescalation of conflicts, climate change, slowing economic growth, rising\ndebt, and a decline in official development assistance to a record low\nare exacerbating these setbacks and disproportionately impacting the\nworld\u2019s most vulnerable people, the report added. At a press conference\nfor the report\u2019s release, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed\nsaid the SDGs are clear and powerful. \u201cIf backed by political will and\nresources, the SDGs truly deliver results,\u201d she said, while warning of a\nworsening crisis in the means of implementation. Amina Mohammed called\nfor three commitments: advancing gender equality as an enabler of every\ngoal, accelerating the transition to renewable energy, and prioritising\npeace by investing in development instruments rather than\never-increasing military expenditure. \u201cNone of the major challenges we\nface today can be solved by countries acting alone. The evidence\npresented in this report makes one thing clear: the Sustainable\nDevelopment Goals remain achievable if we choose to act together with\ngreater urgency, scale, solidarity, and determination,\u201d Mohammed said.\n\u201cBut that choice must be made now. It must be made in the four years\nremaining to make the final, decisive push to change the course we are\ncurrently on.\u201d Li Junhua, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and\nSocial Affairs, said the 2030 Agenda recognises that sustainable\ndevelopment is a shared endeavour, not a zero-sum game. Recent\nmilestones, such as legal protections on the high seas or the increase\nin renewable energy generation capacity in developing countries, prove\nthat ambitious and coordinated action yields results, Li said in the\nreport. \u201cThe next four years will test our momentum. The choices we make\ntoday on financing, global cooperation, and collective crisis management\nwill resonate for generations,\u201d he said. \u201cThe evidence in this report\nproves that the goals we set in 2015 were never beyond our reach. We\nmust now summon the resolve to finish what we started.\u201d<\/p>",
