The SDGs are 16% on track.
2030 is close. The race is on.
In June 2026, the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the body that has scored every nation's SDG progress since 2016, led by economist Jeffrey Sachs, delivered its starkest verdict yet: only 16% of the 169 targets are on course to be met by 2030.
The goals were never the problem. Spreading effort thinly across all 169 was. And the report's headline call for 2026 is no longer add more, it's implement. Fewer priorities. Real action.
That is exactly what 169to1® was built to do. We take all those targets and help you focus on one, the single SDG Target your school, group, community or business can genuinely move. Not another pledge. A target you own, and act on.
Join the 1% movement designed to jump start the SDGs for the final lap; 169,000 institutions from around the globe, each choosing one SDG Target and driving it through 2030 and beyond.
