Progress Report 2021

In 2015, the State of Palestine (non-Member Observer State) committed to the attainment of the Agenda for Sustainable Development by the year 2030 – a blueprint for achieving sustainable development through working towards the attainment of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an urgent call for action that recognizes that the ending of poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve the environment. The purpose of this report is to track progress towards Palestine’s implementation of the New Urban Agenda (NUA). The report covers the period from 2016 until June 2021, changing variably depending on the available data for each target and/or indicator. It also captures the impact of COVID-19 on the attainment of the NUA. The report aims to act as a tool for the public, policymakers, as well as development actors involved in the urban, development sector to share a common knowledge base and set a common agenda towards the advancement of the NUA in order to support the transformation into safer and more inclusive cities in Palestine.
