The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has released it’s latest SDFG Progress Report. With such a variety of economies to cover, the authors recognise data gaps, but the key thrust of the report remains solid. Good gains have been made towards SDGs 7 & 9 (energy, industry, infrastructure) but the region will miss 90% of the 2030 targets and at the current rate of progress will take another 42 years to reach milestones slated to be achieved in just 7 years time.
You can read a good summary of the report at IISD or go straight to the full document.
