Key Insights

The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022 highlights the compounded impact of multiple global crises, including increased conflict, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis, on the progress towards achieving the SDGs. These crises could push an additional 75 to 95 million people into extreme poverty compared to pre-pandemic projections. The report emphasizes the urgency of addressing these interconnected challenges to maintain the momentum towards building resilient, peaceful, and equal societies. The pandemic has already caused significant setbacks, with millions of deaths and disruptions to education and healthcare. Climate change continues to escalate, with record CO2 emissions and a looming climate catastrophe. The war in Ukraine has exacerbated these issues, leading to one of the largest modern refugee crises and spiking prices for food, fuel, and fertilizer. Vulnerable populations, particularly in least developed countries, face the brunt of these challenges, with rising debt, fewer job opportunities, and increased violence against women and girls. The report calls for a renewed commitment to the SDGs and prioritizing actions that address inequality, environmental degradation, and climate change.
