Fill | 2025 SDSN Survey on SDG Challenges and Means for Implementation
The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) is launching a major global data collection to understand persisting challenges and barriers for implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This short survey aims to collect your views on progress made since 2015 on the SDGs and understand the priorities that must be addressed to accelerate SDG progress by 2030 and beyond. It builds on prior work conducted by the SDSN over the past decade including the “SDSN Survey on Government Efforts for the SDGs” and the “Six SDG Transformations Framework”. The survey aims to contribute to building the evidence that will underpin the discussions on the post-2030 agenda. The results will be presented in the Sustainable Development Report and posted on the SDSN website.  The survey includes 3 questions and should not take more than 5 minutes to complete. The last question gives you the possibility to leave an open comment. The deadline for responding to the survey is 30 January 2026.  Should you have any questions please e-mail: [email protected]
