The Europe Sustainable Development Report 2023/24 (ESDR), a new report released on January 25 and produced by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in collaboration with SDSN Europe and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), reveals that decisive measures must be taken in the European Union (EU) to avoid environmental and social "breaking points" and to keep the promise of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
The fifth edition of the ESDR, which tracks progress on the Sustainable Development Goals in the EU, member states and partner countries, highlights that, at the current rate, one third of the SDG targets will not be achieved by the EU by 2030.
Portugal remains in 20th place in the ranking, with an average performance of 70.0, and with SDGs 12, 14 and 15 still facing the biggest challenges in meeting the targets.
