Data and insights from Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The SDG Gender Snapshot 2023

In this Global Network Webinar, we were pleased to welcome Antra Bhatt of UN Women who shared data and insights from the Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The SDG Gender Snapshot 2023 Report. The presentation covered key insights from UN Women and UNDESA’s Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The SDG Gender Snapshot 2023 Report which provides a comprehensive analysis of gender equality progress across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report shows that halfway to the end point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world is failing to achieve gender equality, making it an increasingly distant goal. If current trends continue, more than 340 million women and girls will still live in extreme poverty by 2030, and close to one in four will experience moderate or severe food insecurity. Growing vulnerability brought on by human-induced climate change is likely to worsen this outlook, as many as 236 million more women and girls will be food-insecure under a worst-case climate scenario. The presentation discussed these key findings as well as presented data and insights on all 17 SDGs. It also focused on the need for an integrated, holistic approach to advancing gender equality, involving multistakeholder collaboration and sustained financial backing including through costing of SDG 5. The Global Network of Data Officers and Statisticians aims to improve coordination and collaboration among peers and organizations, to connect existing but not necessarily well-connected networks and initiatives, and to provide and share information on capacity building efforts globally. In the framework of the Global Network UNSD organizes a series of webinars. For more information visit our information pages at https://unstats.un.org/capacity-devel...
