This report shows how cascading crises are pushing the SDGs out of reach of Asia and the Pacific economies.
The convergence of multiple global challenges has further derailed efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The report, Delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals through Solutions at the Energy, Food and Finance Nexus: 2023 Asia–Pacific SDG Partnership Report, says the disruptions from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change have combined to create a “polycrisis” that has caused enormous disruption to the highly interlinked global energy, food, and finance markets and driven the prices of some commodities to record levels.
The report shows how the cascading crises are pushing the SDGs out of reach of Asia and the Pacific economies and explains how energy, food, and finance systems can boost resilience and kickstart development progress.
