As in previous years, the Sustainable Development Report 2019 presents the most up-to-date metrics to gauge the performance of countries on the SDGs. Trends are presented at the level of goals and for 75 individual indicators. This year, we are able to report trends as of 2015 – when the SDGs were adopted – for 11 indicators (primarily for OECD countries). While this is progress, it underscores how infrequently the key data on the SDGs are collected today. The world needs to invest more resources in timely SDG data, including real-time data. Modern technologies present opportunities for real-time monitoring of many goals.
