Jeffrey D. Sachs, Guillaume Lafortune, Grayson Fuller and Eamon Drumm
The Sustainable Development Report (SDR) reviews progress made each year on the Sustainable Development Goals since their adoption by the 193 UN Member States in 2015. Midpoint on the way to 2030, this year’s edition takes stock of progress so
far and discusses priorities to restore and accelerate SDG progress. More specifically, this year’s edition focuses on the need to scale up development finance and reform the global financial architecture to support the SDGs. The SDR 2023 is published
on the eve of the 2023 Paris Summit for a New Global Financial Pact and ahead of other major international summits this year, including the UN High-Level Political Forum in July and the SDG Summit at Heads of States Level in September, the September G20 Meeting under Indian Presidency, and the December COP28 in Dubai. The SDR 2023 also aims to provide significant contributions in the lead-up to the 2024 Summit of the Future, to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance.
The report was prepared by the SDSN’s newly created SDG Transformation Center and coordinated by Guillaume Lafortune in cooperation with Jeffrey D. Sachs. Lead writers are Jeffrey D. Sachs, Guillaume Lafortune, Grayson Fuller, and Eamon Drumm.
The SDR 2023 combines data and analyses produced by international organizations, civil society organizations, and research centers.
