Health — Global
The pandemic shows the critical importance of robust health systems, and that bigger budgets alone are no guarantee of ‘success’. Achieving good health and well-being for all by 2030, while restoring public finances, will need cost-effective spending on health
Land use — Europe, Global
We know how to restore land, and the benefits it brings to communities, climate, and biodiversity. Countries must act on land restoration now
Financing — Sub-Saharan Africa
From illegal pollution to terrorism, one critical way to curb nefarious action is to identify and cut off its finance. How can we do this for abuses that threaten the SDGs?
Human rights — Global, US and Canada
The protests sparked by the death of George Floyd have shone a light on the human rights abuses still rife in even the most developed economies. In this Decade of Action, can we finally end racial inequality?
Energy — Global
What kind of energy storage do we need to fight climate change with renewables?
Economic development — Global
When faced with the complexity of the Sustainable Development Goals, we need a digestible, precise way of measuring progress
Social wellbeing

Climate — Global
What is the relationship between population growth and human-made climate change? Must we necessarily limit the former to fix the latter?
Global governance — Global
Strong institutions are considered to be the essential foundation for the SDGs. Why have past attempts at institution-building proven so difficult?
