Progressing National SDGs Implementation

The report analyzes 2022 Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs), finding that while there are high-level references to the 'Leave No One Behind' principle and some improvement in human rights reporting, there is a persistent silence regarding attacks on human rights defenders and environmentalists. It also notes a shift toward technical working groups over high-level interaction with non-state actors and ongoing gaps in data availability for national plans.

• VNR reports in 2022 frequently mention the 'Leave No One Behind' (LNOB) principle, but struggle with integrating this principle into national policies and plans and lack sufficient data availability.
• There is a significant gap in government reporting regarding the restriction of civic space and violence against journalists, environmentalists, and human rights defenders.
• Engagement with non-state actors in SDG governance is shifting toward technical working groups rather than high-level interaction, with fewer examples of non-state actor contributions provided in 2022 reports compared to previous years.
• Reporting on 2030 Agenda principles shows some improvement regarding human rights, but remains inconsistent concerning intergenerational responsibility, planetary boundaries, and universality.
