Report launch: The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026

Live on WebTV 

The report is under embargo until 7 July 2026, 12:45 pm EDT

With less than five years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026 will deliver a candid assessment of progress and setbacks, calling for renewed global focus on the Goals.

The report highlights real gains across the Goals, demonstrating that purposeful global action can transform lives at scale. However, progress remains uneven and insufficient in the face of serious headwinds—from escalating conflicts and slowing economic growth to climate chaos, rising debt burdens and declining aid.
