The short and winding road to 2030
Measuring distance to the SDG targets
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a set of goals and targets that aim
to transform our world towards sustainability. With less than a decade left to achieve
these targets, the OECD area as a whole has met or is close to meeting only one quarter
of the targets. This Policy Insights explores the key findings from our report The
Short and Winding Road to 2030: Measuring Distance to the SDG Targets which discusses
the slow progress made by OECD countries towards achieving many SDG targets and highlights
the need for strong policy actions to fulfill the entire 2030 Agenda. Fostering inclusion,
reversing the long-term decrease in people's trust in institutions, and addressing
rising environmental pressures are some of the key areas where OECD countries need
to focus to make further progress.
