The Latin American and Caribbean region is lagging behind in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with only a quarter of the goals expected to be met by 2030, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). While progress is being made in some areas, such as health and energy, there is a lack of progress in achieving sustainable cities and reducing poverty. The region needs to take decisive actions to meet the targets, including expanding fiscal revenues and involving the private sector. The SDGs Summit aims to accelerate progress in achieving the goals.
