Pillars of Progress

At the halfway point to the Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030, Asia and the Pacific is off track on all its targets. This report reflects on the support ADB has provided since 2015 to help its developing member countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a focus on four thematic clusters—people, planet, prosperity, and sustainable infrastructure—as well as crosscutting themes of mobilizing finance and enhancing knowledge, it showcases diverse examples of the bank’s impactful projects and initiatives. The report also identifies ways in which ADB can enhance its support to accelerate SDG progress across Asia and the Pacific.
