Last month, we called attention to slow progress or even retrogressive steps with the Sustainable Development Goals. At half point it looks like we’ll be missing most of the 169 targets underpinning the 17 goals. This is despite of 7,777 actions registered in their pursuit on the UN website. In September, the UN General Assembly endorsed the SDGs again at the end of the week dedicated to the mid-term progress review. We should track whether governments and large companies change tack and accelerate structural change with the capacity to keep us out of harm’s way. That is an invitation to citizens and organisations to hold the people in power accountable, seriously.
