For example, wars and climate change have not been prevented.
In 2015, the UN set a total 169 objectives to improve humanity’s quality of life by 2030. General Secretary Antonio Guterres published today the report according to that, only 17 percent of the goals are being realized.
For example, humanity has not been able to prevent wars and climate change. Compared to 2019, 23 million more people have fallen into extreme poverty and more than a hundred million more are going hungry. There are shortcomings in the promotion of literacy and gender equality is not progressing globally.
In about a third of the UN’s goals, development has even gone backwards.
Positive developments include, for example, the spread of mobile broadband to almost everyone, the improvement of medical treatment for AIDS and malaria, and the rapid introduction of renewable energy.
