Key Insights

The report examines the economic, social, and environmental trends affecting the achievement of the SDGs in Latin America and the Caribbean, considering the impact of COVID-19. It analyzes progress based on 72 statistical series of SDG indicators, highlighting the uneven progress and the risk to the comprehensive spirit of the 2030 Agenda. The region's economic growth is insufficient to reduce poverty and increase employment at the needed pace, and while some SDG targets have been met, others require stronger policy interventions or seem unattainable. The document underscores the need for a decade of action and delivery to overcome strategies that weakened response capacity.
