11 The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of actions for people, planet, and prosperity. Adopted in September 2015 by all UN Member States, the 2030 Agenda aims to eliminate poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change over the next 15 years. While the United Nations is supporting implementation especially at regional levels, the 2030 Agenda is primarily country-driven, with Member States taking the lead and adapting it to their national realities. The Arab region, which has been characterized by instability and conflict for the past two decades, is facing various challenges. The 2022 Highlevel Political Forum on Sustainable Development called for a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. It is therefore more urgent than ever to drive development and compile much-needed evidence to measure progress, stagnation, and setbacks.
