Our Campaign

This Halfway to 2030 Report on SDG16+ is a key output from the #SDG16Now Campaign – a global civil society campaign to support accelerated action towards SDG16+ around peaceful, just and inclusive societies. This report provides a snapshot on progress towards fostering peaceful, just and inclusive societies at the critical halfway point to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. These important stocktaking efforts are critical to outlining current challenges and gaps in implementation, to identify areas where further action and commitments are needed from governments and the international community. The report also provides key recommendations for governments and the international community to take forward, which will play a guiding role in advocacy and mobilization around the #SDG16Now Campaign.

About SDG16+ and the 2030 Agenda

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.
