Sustainable development goals: no time for hesitation
Among the 17 sustainable development goals Vietnam committed to at the 2030 Agenda, only four have been fulfilled so far and two have been delayed.
Pham My Hang Phuong, a representative of the expert group advising on the Voluntary National Review (VNR) report, said Vietnam has made significant progress in four goals – no poverty (Goal 1), clean water and sanitation (Goal 6), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (Goal 9) and reduced inequalities (Goal 10).
Apart from the progress, the report pointed out, the country is falling behind in two goals – affordable and clean energy (Goal 7) and life on land (Goal 15).
