The UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development (UKSSD) have produced a report ‘Measuring up: How the UK is performing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals’. The report finds that while there are some pockets of good news, the most vulnerable people and places in our society are increasingly being left behind.
Out of 143 relevant SDG targets, UKSSD found that the UK is performing well on 24% (green), with 57% where there are gaps in policy coverage or performance is not adequate (amber), and 15% where there is little or no policy in place to address the target or the performance is poor (red).
