The report reviews progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) each year since their adoption by all United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015. The 2026 edition identifies 8 priorities for accelerating SDG progress through 2030 and beyond, and it presents results from 2 new Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) surveys: one of SDSN’s network of experts on governments’ SDG efforts and another of the broader public on barriers to SDG implementation and priorities for a post-2030 Agenda.

The report calls for stronger SDG implementation and renewed global cooperation as the world enters the final years of the 2030 Agenda and begins laying the groundwork for a post-2030 framework. 

The report is provided with the SDG index and dashboards, ranking all UN Member States across the 17 SDGs.
