Eurostat has published its annual monitoring report on the EU’s progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results are mixed: While the EU has made great progress in some areas, there have even been setbacks in the goals on health and energy supply.

Over the past five years, the EU has made significant progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in three areas: reducing inequalities (SDG 10), promoting decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) and combating poverty (SDG 1). On the other hand, it has taken steps backwards in the areas of affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), health and well-being (SDG 3) and life on land (SDG 15). This is according to this year’s monitoring report on the EU’s progress towards the SDGs. The report is published once a year by Eurostat.
