This report assesses progress in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets in Asia and the Pacific. The report also examines regional and subregional disparities among countries and among income groups in progress towards the SDGs and their targets. Despite major gaps in data and indicators, the report identifies clear patterns of where progress is being made, ones where acceleration is needed to meet the SDGs by 2030 and ones where the region is moving in the wrong direction. The report is an invaluable resource for all stakeholders involved in the prioritisation, planning, implementation and follow up and review of the SDGs in Asia and the Pacific.
