Sustainable Development Report 2026 – Media Roundup
On June 23, 2026, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) released the 11th edition of the Sustainable Development Report (SDR). This year’s SDR calls for stronger SDG implementation and renewed global cooperation as the world enters the final years of the 2030 Agenda and begins laying the groundwork for a post-2030 framework.
The report includes the SDG Index and Dashboards, ranking all UN Member States across the 17 SDGs, and the Index of Countries’ Support for UN-Based Multilateralism (UN-Mi), which tracks countries’ engagement with the UN system. It also features two new surveys that reveal broad public support for maintaining the SDG framework beyond 2030, while exposing significant regional and country-level disparities in governance, policy effort, and implementation capacity.
Below is an abridged list of publications worldwide that covered the report. For any media inquiries, reach out to media@unsdsn.org.
