UN's 2025 SDG Report: Progress Slows, India Improves
The world is trying to reach 17 goals to make life better by 2030, but isn't doing so well.
Some countries in Europe are doing great, especially Finland.
Some Asian countries are getting better quickly.
Countries with problems like war are struggling.
India made a big step and is now in the top 100.
The goals include things like ending poverty, improving health, and protecting the planet.
We are not on track to meet them by the deadline.
The 2025 Sustainable Development Report (SDR) indicates that global progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is largely off track.
Europe dominates the top 10 in the UN SDG Index 2025, with Finland ranking first.
East and South Asian countries, like Nepal, Cambodia, and the Philippines, have shown significant progress.
Countries affected by conflict or instability, such as South Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia, are at the bottom of the index.
India has entered the top 100 for the first time, ranking 99th in 2025.
