Launch of the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2026

On 26 February 2026 (10:15-11:15 CET), the EESC, in cooperation with Sustainable Development Solutions Network, will host an online event featuring the launch and presentation of the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2026 (ESDR 2026) which tracks annually since 2019 the performance of all EU member states and partner countries on the SDGs and is co-designed with civil society.

The report, which is now in its 7th edition, presents an updated version of the SDG Index and Dashboards for Europe and highlights persistent challenges and gaps in Europe’s progress toward the SDGs, including negative spillover effects and declining trends in socio-economic objectives.

At the same time, it underscores the potential of the SDGs to define long-term pathways and foster new alliances between Europe and global partners - including via coalitions of middle powers - united by the common goal of achieving sustainable development by 2030 and beyond.

The report was prepared by the SDG Transformation Center at the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Paris, France, in close cooperation with SDSN Europe, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), and the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union.
