10 SDG targets that might not be realised by 2030

8. Gender equality

Nearly three-quarters of the SDG targets particularly those under SDG 1 (poverty), SDG 4 (education), SDG 5 (gender equality), and SDG 8 (decent work) are directly or significantly reliant on gender equality. Yet no country is on track to achieve gender equality across the SDGs by 2030. If the current trends continue, global gender equality won’t be achieved until the 22nd century.
