The Arab Sustainable Development Report (ASDR) is a quadrennial flagship publication produced by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) in collaboration with other United Nations entities working in the Arab region. It supports the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the regional and subregional levels. Building on the ASDR 2020, which identified structural barriers and recommendations for overcoming them, the ASDR 2024 analyses policy directions in priority areas for achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the 22 Arab countries. It identifies opportunities for achieving SDG progress as well as gaps where more, or different, efforts are needed. The ASDR 2024 highlights potential regional action to achieve the 17 SDGs, with an emphasis on the financial landscape and challenges. The report also addresses national policies to ensure leaving no one behind and secure the human rights and well-being of all in a safe and peaceful Arab region. [ESCWA website].
