Description In September 2015, world leaders met to adopt a universal and transformative agenda for
sustainable development, with a set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) at its core. The
scientific community has provided valuable guidance in the formulation of the SDGs, and it will need
to remain closely engaged as the world moves towards implementing the new agenda and reviewing
our progress. The current report should help ensure that our efforts are underpinned by the latest
and best scientific evidence and advice.
The GSDR is the only comprehensive, global report on sustainable development. It brings together a
broad range of existing scientific assessments and reviews global progress and future sustainable
development pathways in an integrated way, taking into account the perspectives of scientific
communities across the globe. The report endeavours to present a range of scientific perspectives and to be policy-relevant but not
policy-prescriptive. It offers suggestions on how to strengthen scientists’ engagement with policy
makers at national and international levels, in the latter case notably through the High Level Political
Forum (HLPF). The report examines the SDGs as an interlinked system, analyzing how the goals are
interrelated through their targets, and how progress towards one goal may depend on and
contribute to progress towards others. Such an integrated assessment of the SDGs and the post-
2015 agenda will be a standard feature of future GSDRs.
