United States Sustainable Development Report 2021
In 2018, SDSN released the first United States state-level report measuring how well US states delivered the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this new report SDSN looks at if, and how well, states are progressing towards the 2030 Goals. The results are alarming. To achieve the SDGs, states need to improve scores by an average of approximately 54 points (out of 100) in the next nine years. For reference, over the past five years US states have improved their scores by an average of three points, or a little over half a point a year. No state is on track to achieve the SDGs by 2030 and every state has at least one Goal and at least 20% of indicators that are moving away from, rather than towards, SDG achievement.
