Progress toward each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Asia and the Pacific remains significantly off track, with most targets advancing too slowly or stagnating despite ongoing efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Progress towards several goals is far too slow, particularly on responsible consumption and production (Goal 12), quality education (Goal 4), and decent work and economic growth (Goal 8).
Key drivers of this stagnation include increases in fossil fuel subsidies, poor proficiency in reading and mathematics, and unsustainable production patterns. In addition, negative trends on environmental indicators, such as the economic benefits from sustainable fisheries and the extent of land degradation hinder progress on life below water (Goal 14) and life on land (Goal 15).
