In 2015, the UN assigned each of its 193 member countries to tackle the world's problems, resulting in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All nations pledged to prioritize these initiatives.
In 2023, an update revealed a dire situation regarding progress towards the SDGs. According to Creon Butler, Director at Chatham House, over 50% of targets show weak progress, with 30% stalled or reversed.
