INTRODUCTION
Transformations are possible, and inevitable. This
report is an invitation to embrace transformations with
the urgency needed to accelerate progress toward the
Sustainable Development Goals. Four years have passed
since the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report
was published and even then, the world was not on track
to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Since
2019, challenges have multiplied and intensified. The
world has moved forward on some fronts, such as the
deployment of zero-carbon technologies as one of many
climate mitigation strategies. Progress has been halted
in many areas, partly as a consequence of a confluence
of crises – the ongoing pandemic, rising inflation and
the cost-of-living crisis, and planetary, environmental
and economic distress, along with regional and national
unrest, conflicts, and natural disasters. As a result,
overall progress towards the 2030 Agenda and the Goals
has been severely disrupted in the last three years, yet
every inch of progress matters and counts
