Fight food waste by donating food that you don’t want. Don’t throw it out. Give it away to someone who needs it.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen to help make the food that is prepared for many people each day.

Support local farmers and food businesses by making sustainable
food choices.

Educate your friends and community on SDG 2: Zero Hunger

# data[].attributes.body
Protect your own health and the health of your family and friends, by making well-informed choices like eating healthy foods and exercising

Take action through your school to promote better health for all like offering healthy lunches and snacks

Bike or walk to school if it's safe, you get exercise and reduce emissions at the same time, leading to cleaner air for everyone

Hold your local leaders accountable to their commitments to improve people’s access to health and health care

# data[].attributes.body
Tackle hunger at your school because hungry children can’t learn. Find out if there are students skipping lunch because they can't afford nutritious food and work with your teachers to raise money or donate lunches.

Give others a hand. Tutor students who struggle with keeping up in class and help them improve their grades.

Donate books to your local library or charity. They will give your old books a new life and help families who struggle buying new school books each semester.

Hold a school supplies drive with your classmates and donate the supplies to your local charity or to an underprivileged school.

Spread the word by joining the conversation on social media and educate your friends and community on the importance of SDG 4: Quality Education

Make sure your work groups and teams have both boys and girls in them. Not only does this make your team stronger, but it also contributes to gender equality.

Empower the girls and women in your life. Congratulate your friends and relatives on their personal accomplishments and support them in achieving their goals.

Have discussions about gender stereotypes. Talk to your friends and parents when you watch videos that show what’s “typical” for a girl or boy and discuss how this contributes to gender equality or inequality.

Encourage girls and women to speak up. If you notice that females in your class or work groups are not talking, or that the males are talking the most, ask the females for their opinions and encourage them to join the discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
Take short showers. Stay in the shower just long enough to soap and rinse yourself off well.

Free the bugs you find in your house outside. Flushing unwanted insects down the toilet is an easy solution to a pest problem but a quick way to waste water.

Use tap water wisely. Try not to keep tap water running when you don’t need it, like when you’re brushing your teeth.

Eat less meat. Raising animals requires more water, among other resources, than growing and harvesting plants. This one may be hard, but it will reduce your carbon footprint!

Make sure faucets and showerheads are never leaking.

# data[].attributes.body
Unplug phones, computers, and appliances when they are charged or when you are not using them.

Drink from a reusable water bottle to save energy that would be used on producing single use plastic bottles.

Ask your teacher about ways they can make the classroom more energy efficient. For example, switching off the lights after class and adjusting the thermostat, lower in winter, higher in summer.

Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine.

Talk to your parents about replacing old appliances with energy efficient models and light bulbs at home.

Wear hand-me-down clothes from family members and buy clothes from thrift shops. Many big brand clothing stores use factories that force workers to work long hours for little pay and put them in bad work conditions.

Donate clothes, books, toys, and furniture that you don’t use so that others can give them a new life.

Ask your parents about their jobs and the importance of a job that pays well.

Talk to your friends, classmates, and teachers about equal opportunity to find a good job and how not everyone has the same chance at finding one.

Join fundraisers for local soup kitchens or homeless shelters to help those without jobs live more comfortably.

•    Every morning when you turn on the shower and wait for it to warm up, you can put a bucket under it and use the cold water for the toilet or watering the plants. This will help reduce wasting water.
•    Ask your parents to show how you can repair things so that they last longer. For example, ask them how you can sew a button for your clothes or how to repair your toys.
•    Instead of always buying new clothes, you can also share clothes with your siblings or cousins!

Kids are making a difference in the world. Every small action you take will help the planet to save more energy, water and food! Join us to learn more about where your food comes from, where all the garbage ends up, and how you can be responsible and reduce waste.

Be yourself and be creative! Great ideas can start small and grow big, and you can come up with something that can change the world.

Talk to your family about your ideas and ask about theirs too.

Next time you video chat with your friends, tell them about what you learned from the books you read. Do they know what infrastructure is? What about how important it is for things to work, especially during the current pandemic?

Never give up on things you care about. Projects work and fail all the time but you should always keep trying.

•    Start conversations with your friends and family members about existing inequalities in your community. Raising awareness and changing attitudes about differences within your community is a great first action step.
•    Become friends with people who are different from you. This is a great way to learn about the experiences of people from different backgrounds.
•    Stand up for what you believe in. Don’t be afraid to speak up when your friends, family, or anyone around you experiences discrimination.
•    Be inclusive. Don’t leave people out just because they’re different from you. Ask them to join your sports team, your book club, or virtual hang out.

Real GDP per capita-a proxy for the average standard of living- increased globally by 1.9 per cent in 2017, compared to by 1.3 per cent in 2016. That growth is expected to remain steady at about 2 per cent until 2020. In least developed countries (LDCs), the SDG target aims for at least 7 per cent real GDP growth. In those countries, real GDP accelerated from an average annual rate of 5.8 per cent over the period 2000 to 2004, to 7.1 per cent over 2005 to 2009, before slowing to 4.8 per cent over 2010 to 2017. Growth in LDCs is expected to climb to 5.7 per cent in 2020 owing to favourable external economic conditions along with stable commodity prices that encourage financial flows and investment in natural resource projects and infrastructure. However, this still falls short of the target. Policies that promote economic diversification in those countries are needed to ensure long-term sustainability and more inclusive growth.

Since the global economic downturn of 2009, labour productivity (measured as GDP per employed person) has been increasing worldwide, with consistently positive annual growth rates since 2010. In 2018, labour productivity increased by 2.1 per cent globally, the highest annual growth since 2010. However, wide disparities are found across regions. Between 2017 and 2018, average output per worker grew the most in Central and Southern Asia (4.8 per cent) and in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia (4.2 per cent), while little changed in sub-Saharan Africa (0.3 per cent) and in Latin America and the Caribbean (0.5 per cent).

Informal employment remains a major challenge to the goal of decent work for all

Informal employment remains pervasive throughout the developing world. Based on the latest available data for 54 developing countries, in three quarters of countries, more than half of those with jobs in non-agricultural sectors are informally employed. In about 70 per cent of countries, the share of informal employment in non-agricultural sectors is higher for women than for men. These findings warrant urgent attention from policymakers given the adverse impact of informal employment on earnings, social protection, occupational safety, health and working conditions generally. Informal employment is linked to higher poverty rates and is a major challenge to the goal of decent work for all.

The continuing pay gap between women and men is a glaring reminder of gender inequality

Women still earn less than men. An analysis of the latest available data for 62 countries found that men's median hourly pay is 12 per cent higher than that of women. Furthermore, men had a wage advantage in every major occupational category in 49 countries with relevant data. The median gender pay gap exceeded 20 per cent in managerial and professional occupations, and among craft and related trade workers and plant machine operators and assemblers. Gender pay gaps are rooted in rigid social norms and cultural expectations about women's roles in society. When combined with differences in employment opportunities and lower access to social protection, they can result in long-term income gaps and compromise gender equality now and in the future.

The global unemployment rate has finally recovered from the global financial crisis of 2009. In 2018, it stood at 5 per cent-matching the pre-crisis level. However, large disparities exist across regions and age groups. In 2018, the unemployment rates in Northern Africa and Western Asia (9.9 per cent) and Latin America and the Caribbean (8.0 per cent) were over 2.5 times higher than those in Central and Southern Asia (3.2 per cent). While gender disparities in unemployment rates are less than 1 per cent globally, they are alarming in some regions, such as Western Asia and Northern Africa. In those regions, the unemployment rate for women was over 8 percentage points higher than for men in 2018; in Latin America and the Caribbean, the rate for women was almost 3 percentage points higher. What's more, youth are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults. In 2018, the youth unemployment rate was 12 per cent compared to 4 per cent for adults.

In 2018, one fifth of the world's youth were not engaged in either education, employment or training (NEET). In other words, they were neither gaining professional experience nor acquiring or developing skills through educational or vocational programmes during that formative stage of life. The situation is most serious in Central and Southern Asia and in Northern African and Western Asia, where more than one quarter of youth fall into this category.

Gender differences in this regard are pervasive. In 2018, young women were more than twice as likely as young men to be unemployed or outside the labour force and not in school or in a training programme (young women had a NEET rate of 30 per cent compared to 13 per cent for young men). In Central and Southern Asia, 46 per cent of young women fell into this category compared to 10 per cent of young men.

Goal 7 Goal 9

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

# data[].attributes.body
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Between 2000 and 2017, the proportion of the global population using safely managed drinking water-the highest level of service-increased from 61 per cent to 71 per cent. The fastest progress was seen in Central and Southern Asia and in Latin America and the Caribbean. Overall, 90 per cent of the world's population had at least basic drinking water services. Despite those gains, 785 million people still lacked even basic drinking water services in 2017.

The proportion of the global population using safely managed sanitation services increased from 28 per cent in 2000 to 45 per cent in 2017, with Eastern and South-Eastern Asia making the fastest progress. An additional 30 per cent of the global population used basic sanitation services. Despite that progress, an estimated 673 million people (9 per cent of the global population) still practised open defecation in 2017, the majority of them in Southern Asia. Achieving universal access to even basic sanitation services by 2030 will require a doubling of the current annual rate of progress.

In 2017, three out of five people worldwide had a basic handwashing facility with soap and water on the premises, compared with less than one out of three (28 per cent) in least developed countries. That means that, globally, an estimated 3 billion people are still unable to properly wash their hands at home.

Basic water, sanitation and hygiene services are important not only in homes, but also in public areas where people congregate. In 2016, one third of all primary schools lacked basic drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services. That adversely affected the education and health of millions of schoolchildren, particularly girls coping with menstruation. One out of four health-care facilities worldwide also lacked basic drinking water services, affecting over 2 billion people and increasing the infection risk of people seeking medical care.

Two billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, and about 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity at least one month a year. Over the last century, global water use has increased at more than twice the rate of population growth. That growth, along with rapid urbanization, socioeconomic development and changing consumption patterns, continues to drive water demand, which is heightened by climate change. By 2030, an estimated 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity.

Currently, one third of countries have medium to high levels of water stress. Countries with high levels of water stress are all located in Northern Africa and Western Asia and in Central and Southern Asia. To reduce pressure on freshwater resources, every country and region needs to increase the use of non-conventional water resources, such as the reuse of wastewater, desalinated water, and direct use of agricultural drainage water.

Water resources must be carefully managed to ensure sustainability and equitable sharing among users. A global framework for such an approach is known as integrated water resources management (IWRM), and it covers policies, institutions, management instruments and financing. Of the 172 countries that reported on their implementation of IWRM in 2018, 80 per cent had medium-low levels of implementation or higher. That means that they have laid a solid foundation for implementing the many elements of the approach. However, 60 per cent of countries were not on track to reach the 2030 target of full implementation. An acceleration of progress is needed, particularly in the area of sustainable financing. In 2018, the average global score for IWRM implementation was 49 out of 100.

Community participation is key to ensuring that IWRM is adapted to local contexts. Seventy per cent of countries reported that they had procedures in place (defined in either policy or law) for community participation in the areas of rural drinking water supply and water resources management. However, implementation of those procedures is constrained due to the lack of human and financial resources.

Disbursements of official development assistance (ODA) by donor countries to the water sector increased for several years, reaching nearly $9.1 billion in 2016. However, from 2016 to 2017, ODA disbursements fell by 2 per cent. That drop may be due to donor stocktaking in the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, and corresponds to a fall in ODA commitments to the water sector between 2012 and 2016 (from $12.5 billion to $9.5 billion). Encouragingly, ODA commitments spiked by 36 per cent between 2016 and 2017, indicating a renewed focus by donors on the water sector. That large increase in ODA commitments was attributed mostly to a tripling of commitments to agricultural water resources, prompted by new projects in Southern and South-Eastern Asia. Water supply and sanitation also saw a substantial rise over that period, from $7.6 billion to $9.1 billion, with large increases in ODA committed to water sector policy and administrative management as well as to large water supply and sanitation systems.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are targets for global development that were adopted in 2015. All countries have agreed to work towards achieving them by 2030.

Our SDG Tracker presents data across all available indicators from the Our World in Data database, using official statistics from the UN and other international organizations. This free, open-access information tracks global progress towards the SDGs and allows people worldwide to hold their governments accountable for achieving the agreed goals.

Data is available for many indicators, but there are still gaps. We hope this collaborative approach allows us to support the UN in developing the most complete and up-to-date sources for tracking global progress.

Our original SDG Tracker was published in 2018, and this revised version was launched in 2023. We will keep this up-to-date with the most recent data and SDG developments through the end of the 2030 Agenda.

Let's take a closer look at SDG16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: war and conflict are some of the greatest threats to our society. Approximately 28.5 million primary school age children like you are out of school because they live in conflict-affected areas. Many families are afraid of losing their loved ones because no one is helping to enforce the laws that protect them. No matter where you live, we all must take these issues seriously, and we must act now to make the world a safer place.
We all can help and below are some ideas how to:

Talk with your family and friends gently when you have conflicts with each other

Participate in local community events such as sports events and barbeques to get to know one another in safe environments

Respect your classmates if they have different opinions and try to appreciate the value of their thoughts

Raise your voice against any type of bullying at your school.

Report online bullies. If you notice harassment on a message board or in a chat room, flag that person.

Learn more about laws and rules and inspire others to become active members in their community

Let's take a closer look at SDG 15: Life on Land again. Biodiversity destruction is a crisis for the whole planet. Forests cover over 30% of the land of the Earth, and they are a habitat for more than 50% of the land based plants and animals. However, these rich ecosystems are being destroyed at a fast rate, with hundreds of species of plants and animals going extinct each year. That is why we need to protect our land biodiversity now more than ever. Without it, we wouldn’t exist.

We need to act fast to reduce the loss of natural habitats. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Volunteer for cleanups in your community, local parks, and forests

Compost your food to reduce waste production and recycle nutrients

Reduce your use of paper by printing less

Choose reusable over single-use items

Educate your family and friends on land preservation

Be part of animal protection organizations and help to restore biodiversity

The challenge of protecting Life on Land may seem overwhelming, but individual actions can create big changes. Through our reading list, discover some of the best ways to protect and restore our terrestrial ecosystems, and find out how to take your first step.
