Originally published in Forbes.

2025 marks just five years until 2030, the target for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

For context, the SDGs are a collection of 17 global goals set by the UN General Assembly in 2015 after considerable consultation with NGOs, companies and other stakeholders. Part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs address a broad range of social, economic and environmental challenges.

These goals are a blueprint for advancing a better and more sustainable future for all, and they are backed by 231 progress indicators, such as the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day. With five years left toward our collective resolution for the world, this is a critical moment to evaluate progress. How are we doing?
