The Philippines SDG Progress Report: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities (Full version)

How is the Philippines tracking toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? This comprehensive report for 2024 breaks down the nation's journey toward the 2030 Agenda, highlighting significant wins in poverty reduction and economic growth, while addressing urgent gaps in public health and climate resilience.

Between 2015 and 2023, the Philippines successfully lifted over 6 million people out of poverty. However, as we approach the final five years of the 2030 deadline, the report reveals that only 35% of SDG targets are currently on track. While unemployment has recovered to a pre-pandemic low of 3.8%, critical "red zones" remain—including a 41% surge in malaria cases and rising HIV and tuberculosis incidence.

Using a strategic "traffic light" system, this video explores how the Philippines can maintain momentum (green), accelerate slow progress (yellow), and radically rethink stalled strategies (red) to ensure no Filipino is left behind.
