WSDS 2025 THEME

The world is off track. According to the latest progress report on sustainable development goals, of the 169 targets, only 14% are on track, while 20% are not even tracked. Disturbingly, 14% show regression, including critical areas like hunger, education, employment, and the environment. The first global stocktake highlights the urgency, showing that to meet temperature targets, emissions must drop by 43% by 2030, but current national commitments only achieve a 2% cut—pointing to gaps in both action and data.

Acceleration on sustainable development and climate solutions is clearly needed, for which partnerships are key. The upcoming edition of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) will be held under the theme ‘Partnerships for Accelerating Sustainable Development and Climate Solutions’ from 5th to 7th March 2025.

THEMATIC VIDEO

The world is falling behind in achieving sustainable development goals. A recent progress report reveals that of the 169 targets, only 14% are on track, while 20% lack sufficient tracking. Alarmingly, 14% show regression in critical areas such as hunger, education, employment, and the environment. The first global stocktake underscores the urgency, indicating that emissions must drop by 43% by 2030 to meet temperature targets. However, current national commitments deliver only a 2% reduction, exposing significant gaps in action and data.

Accelerating progress on sustainable development and climate solutions is imperative, and partnerships are central to this effort. The upcoming World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS), themed ‘Partnerships for Accelerating Sustainable Development and Climate Solutions,’ will take place from 5th to 7th March 2025.
