NEW REPORT LAUNCHED TODAY UK’s PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE GLOBAL GOALS

Posted bySteve MartinPosted inUncategorized

 

Launched today, the Global Compact’s Measuring Up 2.0 report reveals how the UK is performing on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 Targets, the wider policy context, and the historical trends that affect us achieving the Goals.

The report highlights that the UK is only performing well on 17% of the Targets relevant to the domestic delivery of the Goals. Although there has been a marked shift in engagement across the business sector, the report suggests that both government and business are missing an opportunity to use the holistic framing of the SDGs to address systemic challenges. 

It highlights the Government’s continued lack of progress towards meeting its commitments to deliver the SDGs and calls on Prime Minister Liz Truss to place responsibility for the SDGs in her own office to ensure they are fully integrated across government.
