Progressing National SDG Implementation 2022

February 23, 2023

“The seventh edition of Progressing National SDGs Implementation aims to provide useful insights and recommendations on the VNR reports presented at the HLPF in 2022 in order to inform discussions on SDG delivery and help guide improved implementation and reporting on the 2030 Agenda.”

This report was compiled by Action for Sustainable Development, ANND, BOND, Cepei, Cooperation Canada, CPDE, Forus, Global Focus, IISD, Save The Children, Sightsavers, and World Vision International.

In 2022, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides a  fifteen-year agenda for people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership, entered its seventh year. At the same time, the world faces unprecedented crises that threaten the delivery of the 2030 Agenda and pose a deep existential threat to people worldwide.

Civil society organizations have reviewed the Voluntary National Review (VNR) reports presented by governments to the United Nations High-level Political Forum (HLPF) for the past seven years. 

Principales hallazgos

‘Whole of society’ approach: there was an increased references to non-state actors’ participation in technical working groups.

Civic space: The VNR reports remain primarily silent on shrinking civic space, including the ongoing attacks against human rights defenders, journalists, and environmentalists in many countries.

Follow up and review: Information remains very limited on data availability and fewer countries reported on the use of unofficial data in their VNR reports
