2025 SDGs Report

Statistical Information for the 2030 Agenda in Italy

The Istat Report on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) makes available the updating and analysis of statistical measures aimed at monitoring the 2030 Agenda for Italy, contributing to the realization of this important global project

The 17 SDGs, and the specific targets they are articulated, include the three dimensions of sustainable development, extending the 2030 Agenda from the purely social pillar, as envisioned by the Millennium Development Goals, to economic and environmental pillars with the addition of the institutional dimension.

The eighth edition of the Report on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) includes the dissemination of 320 statistical measures connected to 148 indicators proposed by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (UN-IAEG-SDGs) of the United Nations, for monitoring the progress of the 2030 Agenda at a global level (Figure 1).

Since December 2016, Istat has made available the information platform for SDG indicators, updated twice a year. This sixteenth dissemination has some relevant new developments. After the 2020 revision, during 2024, the UN-IAEG-SDGs framework underwent a second Comprehensive Review, ratified during the 56th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission in March 2025. The Comprehensive Review stimulated activities for a broad restructuring of the Istat-SDGs System, managed in collaboration with the contributing Sistan institutions, in order to improve data and metadata quality.
