Knowledge, Information and SDG Success 2025 - FULL REPORT

Abstract

The United Nations 2030 Agenda promises to provide a roadmap for a comprehensive and integrated approach to achieving sustainable development, with access to information referred to as an example of a key underpinning factor. Nonetheless, references to knowledge and information remain scattered and partial, arguably not reflecting the full breadth of contributions that they make to effective policy-making for a better world.

In order to assess how broadly and deeply Member States have nonetheless integrated knowledge and information into their practical efforts to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this report analyses the 36 Voluntary National Reviews prepared and presented at this year’s UN High-Level Political Forum.
