Our World in Data developed SDG-Tracker.org, the first (and it claims, only, to date) resource where we can track our collective progress towards the SDGs. It aims to provide a clear way to track global, regional and national progress across the 17 Goals, 169 Targets, and 232 Indicators of the SDGs. A recent update is now live in the tracker. Gaps in data availability remain: where there is no known data for a given indicator, OWID marks this clearly and invites users to notify them if there is data for these indicators that they may have missed. This open approach aims to support the UN in developing the most comprehensive coverage of how we're doing in our progress to 2030.
January 2020
- It no longer looks a faraway deadline: 2030 is when the world is supposed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals aimed at making the world a fairer, cleaner, safer world for all.

May 2019
- In 2019, the London Marathon partnered with UK startup Skipping Rocks Lab, creators of Ooho edible water pods, in a bid to reduce plastic waste. The organisers of the event handed out over 30,000 capsules to runners, who either consumed the entire pod or drank the water and threw away the biodegradable seaweed packaging. The collaboration was part of a pledge to make this year’s event the most sustainable marathon ever. In the intensifying global war on waste and eco-hazards, it will no longer be enough to just speak out against straws or reduce your plastic usage. Innovative new materials (like the edible seaweed used in Ooho’s pods and Loliware’s straws) and repurposed waste (see e.g. this Thai supermarket’s use of banana leaves) mean for TrendWatching that brands are transitioning from reducing their footprint to nearly eliminating it.
