Hey everyone! A new UN report says the Chinese mainland has met or is close to 60.5% of its 2030 SDG targets by 2024 🚀. From clean power to green forests, check out the highlights:
- Wind & Solar: 39% of global wind capacity, added 68.2% new capacity last year ⚡
- Forest Love: Green cover has topped 25% 🌳
- Urban Life: Over 90% of city residents can hop on convenient public transport 🚆
- Disaster Ready: All provinces now have early disaster-reduction plans ahead of schedule 🌪️
But it’s not all sunshine. On a global scale:
- Just 16.9% of monitored indicators are on track for 2030
- Hunger, land degradation (up 3.38%, ~2.6× Indonesia), and falling clean-energy finance are red flags 🌍
- Heat-related deaths in major cities of the Global South rose from 0.29% to 0.36% over the decade 🥵
With only five years till 2030, the report calls for:
- Better data & monitoring tools 📊
- Policies that connect climate, energy & ecosystems
- National SDG indicators aligned with official stats
- Big-data-driven evaluation for the post-2030 agenda
This is a wake-up call for all of us—think smart cities in Manila, green corridors in Mumbai, or solar rooftops in Kuala Lumpur. Let’s ride the data wave to a brighter, more sustainable future! 🌏✨
