Global SDG progress towards 2030 is only 16%
Regarding the progress of the SDGs worldwide, “On average, only 16% of all goals are making progress, and the remaining 84% are making limited progress or are in decline.” A research organization has announced this in the Sustainable Development Report 2024.
Although awareness of the SDGs has increased significantly in Japan, we are still far from achieving the goals, so it is important for each of us to raise our awareness and take action. With the aim of co-creating a happy future by connecting families, friends, and individuals to concrete actions, we are promoting the “HAPPY” EARTH FESTA will be held.

Executive committee chairperson comment
Let’s all take action towards a happy future
The 17 goals set for the realization of a sustainable society include environmental issues such as abnormal weather and disasters that are thought to be the effects of global warming, as well as poverty, education, gender equality, job satisfaction and economic growth. We must continue to face challenges in order to continue living happy and prosperous lives.
The world’s SDGs progress towards 2030 is only 16%. Now that we are far from achieving our goals, it is important for each of us to raise our awareness and take action. 『HAPPY
EARTH
