More of the same model would fail us even more on sustainable development goals and targets. With 58 months left to deliver on SDG goals and targets for 2030, the pledge of "leave no one behind" would become even more unfulfilled if we do not make tectonic, transformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated shifts and actions, said noted feminist leader Sai Jyothirmai Racherla while delivering the keynote address at Asia Pacific Youth Forum on Sustainable Development, ahead of the intergovernmental meeting to review progress on specific goals and targets in Asia and the Pacific region.
Asia Pacific region is not on track to deliver on any of the 17 SDGs by 2030, said Sai, who leads the Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) as its Deputy Executive Director. Asia Pacific youth forum before governments meet next week served as an important lens of young people in all their diversities. Over 705 youth scholars from 38 countries participated in the regional APFSD youth forum 2026 review process organised by ARROW and partners.
There are 5 SDGs under review in 2026:
* SDG-6: clean water and sanitation
* SDG-7: affordable and clean energy
* SDG-9: industry, innovation and infrastructure
* SDG-11: sustainable cities and communities
* SDG-17: partnerships and means for implementation of SDGs.
