What the latest global assessment of the 2030 Agenda says about progress, the financing gap, and what it implies for sustainable finance practitioners.
The Sustainable Development Goals Report is the UN's annual stocktake of the 2030 Agenda — a data-driven assessment of where the world stands against seventeen goals with five years left to run.
This course summarises the 2025 findings: which goals are on track, which have stalled or reversed, and the regional differences behind the global averages. It gives particular weight to the investment gap and what closing it would require of public and private capital.
The value for compliance and finance professionals is in the translation. The report's findings feed directly into sustainable finance frameworks, ESG disclosure expectations, and the taxonomies against which investment products are increasingly assessed — so the course closes on what the data means for practice rather than leaving it as context.
Part 1
The seventeen goals, how progress is measured, and the state of the data.
Part 2
Goals on track, goals that have stalled, critical reversals, and regional variation.
Part 3
The scale of the investment shortfall, its composition, and the role of private capital.
Part 4
How the findings feed into sustainable finance frameworks, ESG disclosure, and product assessment.
