Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall, action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required. 2020 needs to usher in a decade of ambitious action to deliver the Goals by 2030.
The Decade of Action calls for accelerating sustainable solutions to all the world’s biggest challenges — ranging from poverty and gender to climate change, inequality and closing the finance gap.
In 2025, the UN Secretary-General called on all sectors of society to step up efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals with just five years to go. He emphasized that progress is no accident: it reflects deliberate choices and sustained investments by governments, civil society, youth movements, women’s organizations, and the private sector. The SDGs work best when tackled together. Education strengthens gender equality, climate stability supports food security, and ending famine creates conditions for peace. Their interconnectedness means that advancing one goal helps accelerate others — and momentum is building.
From global to local to people action, all sectors of society need to mobilize for a decade of action to generate an unstoppable movement pushing for the required transformations.
