Core Indicator booklet

Regional progress report on the health and health-related SDGs

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a vision of healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages. Addressing the health-related targets covered by Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 cannot be achieved without also addressing many of the other 16 SDGs. Realizing this vision requires that we know where we are so that we can see what we need to do. The regional SDG progress report addresses this knowledge need.
