Since its inception in 2015 , the 2030 Agenda has provided a for shared prosperity in a sustainable world ? a world where all people can live productive , vibrant and peaceful lives on a healthy planet . The year 2030 is just over a decade , and we must ask ourselves if our actions today are the right foundation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) . The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019 provides evidence - based to answer this question .
The report demonstrates that progress is being made in some critical areas , and that some favorable trends are evident . Extreme poverty has considerably , the under - 5 mortality rate fell by 49 per cent between 2000 and 2017 , immunizations have saved millions of lives , and the majority of the world's population now has access to electricity . Countries are taking actions to protect our planet : marine protected areas have doubled since 2010 ; countries are working concertedly to illegal fishing ; 186 parties have the Paris Agreement on climate change , and almost all have communicated their first nationally determined contributions . About 150 countries have developed national policies to respond to the challenges of rapid urbanization , and 71 countries and the European Union now have more than 300 policies and instruments sustainable consumption and production . And a wide of other actors ? international organizations , businesses , local authorities , the scientific community and civil society ? have engaged with the SDGs in a manner that great hope for the coming decade . The United Nations , for its part , is working hard to reposition to the United Nations development system to be better equipped to meet the needs of governments to respond to this integrated and transformative agenda .
Notwithstanding that progress , this report identifies many areas that need urgent collective attention . The natural environment is deteriorating at an alarming : sea levels are rising ; ocean acidification is accelerating ; the past four years have been the warmest on record ; one million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction ; and land degradation continues unchecked .
