Target 7.A:
Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resourcesForests are a safety net, especially for the poor, but they continue to disappear at an alarming rate.
An increase in afforestation, a slight decrease in deforestation and the natural expansion of forests have reduced the net loss of forest from an average of 8.3 million hectares annually in the 1990s to an average of 5.2 million hectares annually between 2000 and 2010.
Between 1990 and 2012, global emissions of carbon dioxide increased by over 50 per cent.
Ozone-depleting substances have been virtually eliminated, and the ozone layer is expected to recover by the middle of this century.
Target 7.B:
Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of lossProtected ecosystems covered 15.2 per cent of land and 8.4 per cent of coastal marine areas worldwide by 2014.
Target 7.C:
Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitationThe world has met the target of halving the proportion of people without access to improved sources of water, five years ahead of schedule.
Between 1990 and 2015, 2.6 billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources.
Worldwide 2.1 billion people have gained access to improved sanitation. Despite progress, 2.4 billion are still using unimproved sanitation facilities, including 946 million people who are still practicing open defecation.
Target 7.D:
Achieve, by 2020, a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellersBetween 2000 and 2014, more than 320 million people living in slums gained access to improved water sources, improved sanitation facilities, or durable or less crowded housing, thereby exceeding the MDG target.
More than 880 million people are estimated to be living in slums today, compared to 792 million in 2000 and 689 million in 1990.

Target 6.A:
Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDSNew HIV infections fell by approximately 40 per cent between 2000 and 2013.
Globally, an estimated 35 million people were still living with HIV in 2013.
More than 75 per cent of the new infections in 2013 occurred in 15 countries.
Worldwide, an estimated 0.8 per cent of adults aged 15 to 49 were living with HIV in 2013.
Target 6.B:
Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need itBy June 2014, 13.6 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally, an increase from 800,000 in 2003.
In 2013 alone, the number of people receiving ART rose by 1.9 million in the developing regions.
ART averted 7.6 million deaths from AIDS between 1995 and 2013.
Antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV were delivered to 12.1 million people in developing regions in 2014.
Target 6.C:
Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseasesBetween 2000 and 2015, the substantial expansion of malaria interventions led to a 58 per cent decline in malaria mortality rates globally.
Since 2000, over 6.2 million deaths from malaria were averted, primarily in children under five years of age in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Due to increased funding, more children are sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets in sub-Saharan Africa.
Tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions have saved some 37 million lives between 2000 and 2013.

Target 5.A:
Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratioSince 1990, the maternal mortality ratio has been cut nearly in half, and most of the reduction occurred since 2000.
More than 71 per cent of births were assisted by skilled health personnel globally in 2014, an increase from 59 per cent in 1990.
Globally, there were an estimated 289,000 maternal deaths in 2013.
Target 5.B:
Achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive healthAfter years of slow progress, only half of pregnant women receive the recommended amount of antenatal care.

Target 4.A:
Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rateBetween 1990 and 2015, the global under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half, dropping from 90 to 43 deaths per 1000 live births.
Between 1990 and 2015, the number of deaths in children under five worldwide declined from 12.7 million in 1990 to almost 6 million in 2015.
Children in rural areas are about 1.7 times more likely to die before their fifth birthday as those in urban areas.
Children of mothers with secondary or higher education are almost three times as likely to survive as children of mothers with no education.
While Sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest child mortality rate, the absolute decline in child mortality has been the largest over the past two decades.
Every day in 2015, 16,000 children under five continue to die, mostly from preventable causes. Child survival must remain a focus of the new sustainable development agenda.

Target 3.A:
Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015The developing countries as a whole have achieved the target to eliminate gender disparity in primary, secondary and tertiary education.
Globally, about three quarters of working-age men participate in the labour force, compared to half of working-age women.
Women make up 41 per cent of paid workers outside of agriculture, an increase from 35 per cent in 1990.
The average proportion of women in parliament has nearly doubled over the past 20 years.
Women continue to experience significant gaps in terms of poverty, labour market and wages, as well as participation in private and public decision-making.

Target 2.A:
Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schoolingEnrolment in primary education in developing regions reached 91 per cent in 2015, up from 83 per cent in 2000.
In 2015, 57 million children of primary school age were out of school.
Among youth aged 15 to 24, the literacy rate has improved globally from 83 per cent to 91 per cent between 1990 and 2015, and the gap between women and men has narrowed.
In the developing regions, children in the poorest households are four times as likely to be out of school as those in the richest households.
In countries affected by conflict, the proportion of out-of-school children increased from 30 per cent in 1999 to 36 per cent in 2012.

Target 1.A:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1.25 a dayThe target of reducing extreme poverty rates by half was met five years ahead of the 2015 deadline.
More than 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty since 1990.
In 1990, nearly half of the population in the developing regions lived on less than $1.25 a day. This rate dropped to 14 per cent in 2015.
At the global level more than 800 million people are still living in extreme poverty.
Target 1.B:
Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young peopleGlobally, 300 million workers lived below the $1.25 a day poverty line in 2015.
The global employment-to-population ratio – the proportion of the working-age population that is employed – has fallen from 62 per cent in 1991 to 60 per cent in 2015, with an especially significant downturn during the global economic crisis of 2008/2009.
Only four in ten young women and men aged 15-24 are employed in 2015, compared with five in ten in 1991.
Target 1.C:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hungerThe proportion of undernourished people in the developing regions has fallen by almost half since 1990.
Globally, about 795 million people are estimated to be undernourished.
More than 90 million children under age five are still undernourished and underweight.
