Launched at the 74th Commission session (CS74), which opened in Bangkok, the Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2017 assesses how far the region has progressed in implementation of the SDGs, two years after the 17 goals were adopted by world leaders in 2015. The report shows that satisfactory progress has been made at the regional level towards eradicating poverty (goal 1), promoting health and well-being (goal 3), and |achieving quality education for all (goal 4). However, progress on many of the targets has fallen short and in some cases, is deteriorating. Out of the 57 targets analysed in the report, 37 show insufficient progress in the region, while negative trends are noted on seven targets related to decent work and economic growth (goal 8), industry (goal 9), climate action (goal 13) and sustainable use of oceans and forests (goals 14 and 15).
Launching the report at the CS74 senior official’s segment, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of Escap Shamshad Akhtar underscored that while there is success to celebrate, much more needs to be done to ensure that no one is left behind by 2030. “Our region needs to significantly step up its development reform efforts in several areas. Inequalities are found to be widening because rapid economic growth has not always been equitably shared,” said Akhtar. “More balanced and equitable growth must remain a priority. Across all the SDG areas, work to find multilateral solutions to overcome transboundary challenges must be enhanced for our benefit and that of future generations.” The report highlights significant disparities in progress across subregions and countries according to income level, which could further threaten the Asia-Pacific region’s ability to achieve the SDGs. There are also major gaps in the availability of data. Only 25 per cent of the official SDG indicators can currently be used to assess progress in the region, which limits robust assessments by countries and can impede efforts |to overcome development challenges. Political leaders and high-level government and UN officials from across the region are convening at CS74 this week to discuss the theme of “Inequality in the era of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The annual gathering comprises two parts – the senior officials’ segment on Friday and Saturday, in preparation for the ministerial segment, which will be held from today until Wednesday at the UN Conference Centre in Bangkok.
