European Parliament: Implementation and Delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals in view of the 2025 High-Level Political Forum

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Institutions: Ministry of External Affairs; Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change; Ministry of Health & Family Welfare

This report affirms the European Parliament’s strong commitment to fully implementing the 17 SDGs and the 2030 Agenda, noting that only 17 percent of SDG targets are on track, nearly half show minimal or moderate progress, and a third have stalled or reversed. It highlights the compounded setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, climate change, biodiversity loss, and growing inequality.

The report calls for urgent, transformative action, including the mobilisation of USD 1.3 trillion annually for climate-related mitigation, adaptation, and loss-and-damage financing via concessional and non-debt-creating instruments. It underscores health as a foundational priority, lamenting that fewer than 10 percent of SDG 3 targets are on track and urging progress toward universal health coverage, equitable access to medicines, reproductive health rights, and climate-resilient systems. Gender equality is emphasised as a cross-cutting enabler; insufficient progress and funding are noted, and the resolution demands stronger leadership, intersectional gender analysis, support for women’s rights defenders, and inclusion of gender equality in at least 20 percent of external aid. It calls for integrated policy coherence, robust data systems (including gender disaggregation), strengthened multilateralism, transparent financing, and a people-centred, inclusive approach to accelerate SDG delivery by 2030.
