In June 2024, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SGSN) published the Sustainable Development Report (SDR).

Published annually since 2016, the SDR global edition includes the SDG Index and dashboards with a rating of the performance of all UN member states in achieving the SDGs. In addition to the SDG Index, this year's edition includes a new Index - countries' support for multilateral activities based on the United Nations, covering all 193 UN member states, and new FABLE paths demonstrating how to achieve sustainability of food and agricultural systems by the middle of the century. The report assesses the progress of 193 States. 100 points means that all the SDGs have been achieved.

This year, Finland (86.35), Sweden (85.70) and Denmark (85) became the leaders of the rating. Russia ranked 56th out of 167 in the SDG achievement ranking with a score of 73.10 points.

In June 2024, the UN published the annual Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Report, prepared by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs in collaboration with more than 50 international and regional agencies, based on data provided from more than 200 countries.

The SDG 2024 report focuses on current challenges in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, positive and negative experiences in achieving the SDGs, and also highlights the need to accelerate action in key areas such as combating climate change, achieving peace and security, and eradicating inequality. According to the report, the actions taken to achieve the SDGs are insufficient, and without significant investments and actions, the goals may not be achieved by 2030.

Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, as well as Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Stefan Schweinfest, Director of the Statistics Division, UN DESA and Jung Min, Head of the SDG Monitoring Section of the Statistics Division, UN DESA presented the report at a press conference.

An expanded report on each SDG was also published.

The International Mayors Forum 2024 will happen in Jakarta, Indonesia from 2nd to 4th July, 2024.

The Forum is organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) through the United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD), under the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG), in collaboration with the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD), Special Capital Region of Jakarta, and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) Asia-Pacific.

Emphasizing the importance of localizing the SDGs, particularly in least-developed and lower-middle-income countries facing rapid urbanization, the forum addresses the challenges posed by accelerated urbanization. These challenges include the necessity for sustained investments in urban infrastructure and services such as housing, education, healthcare, employment, and environmental sustainability, with a focus on the most vulnerable populations.

The forum will concentrate on accelerating action at the local level through six key transformative entry points, identified as investment pathways to achieve the SDGs, as highlighted during the 2023 SDG Summit. These entry points encompass food systems, energy access and affordability, digital connectivity, education, employment, social protection, climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

Mayors and officials from subnational government entities, as well as key ministerial representatives from developed and developing countries, – including least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing states and middle-income countries. Representatives of UN entities, Local 2030 Coalition and regional hubs, international experts and other stakeholders will also be invited to attend the Forum.
