The region needs to act urgently to reverse trends around deforestation (target 15.5), biodiversity (target 15.2), sustainable tourism (target 12.b), and climate change policies (target 13.2).

The outlook is positive for marine pollution (14.1) and conservation (target 14.5) and more regulated fishing (target 14.6). Progress towards reducing fossil fuel subsidies has slowed (target 12.c), and despite a previously positive outlook, the region is no longer on track to achieve the target. Most countries have increased reliance on renewable energy (target 7.2) and improved energy efficiency (target 7.3), but acceleration is required to meet 2030 targets. To ensure the availability and sustainability of water and sanitation, the region must speed up progress on sanitation (target 6.2), water quality (target 6.3), water-use efficiency (target 6.4), and international cooperation and national management of water resources (target 6.5). The region has made good progress towards access to basic services such as drinking water (target 6.1) and energy (target 7.1). The region is on track to meet target 5.b on the use of technology to promote the empowerment of women, but not on the other measurable gender equality targets. Efforts must be accelerated to reduce disparities between women and men at home (target 5.4) and in the public sphere (target 5.5). All other health targets require acceleration. The region is on track to meet targets on maternal (target 3.1) and child (target 3.2) mortality and road safety (target 3.6). Available data indicate that the region must reverse trends to maintain a diverse food supply (target 2.5) and improve agricultural productivity and efficiency (target 2.a). Regional progress on nutrition and sustainable food supply has been insufficient. One in five individuals experience multidimensional poverty across the region (target 1.2), and income inequality (target 10.2) is worsening in many countries. With the exception of extreme poverty that is rare in the UNECE region, targets to reduce poverty and income inequality are not on track to be achieved by 2030.
