Member countries are making progress on sustainable development goals, says OECD

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are making slow progress towards achieving their sustainable development goals for 2030.

In a report, the institution points out that members have met or are close to meeting only a quarter of the goals for which performance can be measured.

Virtually all countries are already securing basic economic needs and implementing policy tools and frameworks, but progress towards 21 targets on issues such as ensuring that no one is left behind, restoring trust in institutions and limiting pressures on the environment environment is still far from happening, the report points out.

While OECD countries have eradicated extreme poverty, most of them need to do more to reduce deprivation more broadly, he points out.

Women, young adults and migrants face greater challenges than the rest of the population and, despite some progress, women’s rights and opportunities are still limited in the private and public spheres, the report indicates.
