Progressing National SDGs Implementation

The 6th edition of the Progressing National SDGs Implementation report analyzes 42 voluntary national review (VNR) reports and 17 civil society reports from 2021. It finds that while reporting on the 'Leave No One Behind' principle and COVID-19 impacts on vulnerable populations has increased, most reports ignore the shrinking of civic spaces and attacks on human rights and environmental defenders. Additionally, while general implementation information remains consistent, the report notes backslides in budgeting and awareness-raising activities.

• A significant gap exists in VNR reporting regarding the protection of activists, with most reports failing to mention the reduction of civic spaces or the targeting of environmentalists and human rights defenders.
• There has been an increase in reporting related to the 'Leave No One Behind' principle, specifically concerning how COVID-19 has affected the most vulnerable groups.
• While Member States generally provide consistent information on 2030 Agenda implementation, there are observed regressions in the areas of budgeting and awareness-raising.
