Collection 

Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals

Submission status
Open

The year 2023 marks the mid-point of the 15-year period envisaged to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, targets for global development adopted in September 2015 by all United Nations Member States. To help track where we are on this journey, and to amplify success stories, in this Collection we present studies that assess progress or that showcase interventions that have made a difference. We include articles that focus on at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals, at the local, regional or global scale, and we are pleased to invite submissions of studies framed in a similar way. With a growing overview of where we stand and which measures make a difference, we can generate momentum on a sustainable pathway towards improved human lives and a healthier planet.
