The Short and Winding Road to 2030

Measuring Distance to the SDG Targets

image of The Short and Winding Road to 2030

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has an unprecedented ambition, but also confronts countries with an enormous challenge given the complex and integrated nature of the Agenda with its 17 Goals, underpinned by 169 Targets. To assist national governments with their implementation, the OECD has developed a unique methodology allowing comparison of progress across SDG goals and targets, and also over time. Based on the Global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals and leveraging UN and OECD data, this report provides a high-level assessment of OECD Member countries’ performance across the Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda. The report evaluates the distance that OECD countries need to travel to meet SDG targets for which data is currently available, but it goes one step further and deepens the analysis by identifying long-term trends, considering also how these trends may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. By providing a high-level overview of countries’ strengths and weaknesses in performance across the SDGs, it aims to support Member countries in navigating the SDGs and in setting their own priorities for action within the broad 2030 Agenda.

The “People” theme of the 2030 Agenda aims at eradicating poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential, in particular in terms of health and education, and including without being penalised because of their gender. Relying on the global indicator framework, this chapter assesses whether by 2030 the OECD countries are likely to achieve the SDG targets that focus on People. It shows where OECD countries are standing both in terms of their current performance and in terms of changes over time, and what part of the People theme of the 2030 Agenda currently remains unmeasurable. It also discusses some of the main impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the People targets.
