Paragraph 1
The United Nations has warned that the world is not on
to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The
were implemented in 2015 to improve people's
and protect the planet. They include eliminating poverty, improving
, reducing gender inequality, and tackling climate change. However, the UN has reported that only about one
of the goals are currently on
to be met. Around half are progressing too
. Wars, climate change, slow economic
, rising debt, financing gaps, and other
shocks are making progress difficult. The UN has called on countries to increase their
in the run-up to 2030.
