Trends
The figure below combines all the indicators for which a medium-term trend (2018-2025) has been calculated. It shows the percentage of indicators moving towards the goal (green), the proportion showing a neutral trend (grey) and the proportion moving away from the goal (red).
The 17 SDGs were adopted by the UN in 2015. Government leaders from 193 countries have committed themselves to this sustainable development agenda, which runs until 2030. We are now well past the halfway point of the timeframe for achieving the goals.
- At least half of the indicators show a trend towards increased well-being in terms of gender equality (SDG 5), no poverty (SDG 1), zero hunger (SDG 2) and climate action (SDG 13).
- A quarter or more of the indicators are moving towards reduced well-being in terms of institutions (SDG 16.2), security and peace (SDG 16.1), financial sustainability (SDG 10.2), housing (SDG 11.1) and life on land (SDG 15).
