Independent monitoring and review of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its structural obstacles and challenges are key factors for the success of the SDGs. The Reflection Group on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development together with other civil society organizations and networks has produced the first Spotlight on Sustainable Development Report assessing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the structural obstacles in its realization. The report puts a spotlight on the fulfilment of the 17 goals, with a particular focus on inequalities, responsibility of the rich and powerful, means of implementation and systemic issues.

What are currently the main obstacles to achieving the SDGs? Are there transnational spill over effects that influence or even undermine the implementation of the goals? Are the current policy approaches, as they are reflected, inter alia, in the 2030 Agenda, an adequate response to the challenges and obstacles (or are they part of the problem)? What has to be done? Which specific policy changes (at international level) are necessary?

The Spotlight Report contains articles and boxes from 29 authors from civil society organizations, networks, trade unions; from journalists, activists and scientists; and from experts on human rights, gender, economic, as well as environmental issues. It covers the SDGs from Goal 1 on poverty to Goal 17 on the Means of Implementation as well as a discussion of and proposals for how to measure results on the way to achieving the agenda.
