In 2015, leaders from every country in the world agreed to 17 goals to create a better future for all people, everywhere, by 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals promised that no one will be left behind by progress, and that people who are furthest behind are reached first. The Child Atlas helps us to monitor our progress towards these essential goals for children. This page gives you a quick overview if countries across the globe are on track to reach the SDGs. You can find more information about individual indicators in the Atlas and the country profiles. Our methodology shares more detail on how we assess progress towards the SDGs.
