Report Roundup: UNGA78 Edition
The most important SDG-related documents released during Global Goals Week 2023
This year’s UN General Assembly brought with it a polyphony of diverse voices and perspectives as global leaders reflected on the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda. With so many panels, webinars, and in-person sessions discussing the Sustainable Development Goals, it was easy to miss other important information being released.
Today we highlight 10 reports and documents you should be aware of from the last month.
