of the 169 Sustainable Development Goal targets will have matured. This summary reviews progress made towards those targets at the global level based on available data as of June 2020. It takes stock of how far the world has come in meeting these commitments by mid-2020 and provides an assessment in stoplight colours. Of these 21 targets, 12 are linked to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

According to country reports, 73 per cent of assessed breeds are at risk of extinction. At the end of 2019, global holdings of plant genetic material conserved in gene banks totalled 5.4 million samples, a 1.3 per cent increase from 2018.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>6.6</td> <td>Protect and restore water-related ecosystems</td> <td><div class="ps ps66"></div></td> <td>In 2018, slightly more than 2.1 per cent of global land was covered by freshwater bodies. Water-related ecosystems captured by these data (lakes and large rivers) have maintained a consistent spatial area since the base line reference year 2000 (progress indicated in yellow).

However, between 2010 and 2019, global generation of e-waste – discarded electronic and electrical equipment – grew from 5.3 to 7.3 kilograms per capita, while the environmentally sound recycling of such waste increased at a much slower pace – from 0.8 to 1.3 kilograms per capita <em>(progress indicated in red)</em>.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>14.2</td> <td>Protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems</td> <td><div class="ps ps142"></div></td> <td>The global Ocean Health Index appears to have been static over the last eight years.

The global mean percentage of each marine KBA covered by protected areas increased from 30.5 per cent in 2000 to 46.0 per cent in 2019, but the majority of these sites still have incomplete or no coverage by protected areas.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>14.6</td> <td>End subsidies that contribute to over-fishing and to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing</td> <td><div class="ps ps146"></div></td> <td>As of February 2020, the number of parties to the Agreement on Port State Measures - the first binding international agreement that specifically targets illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing - increased to 66 (including the European Union) from 58 the previous year. Close to 70 per cent of countries reported high scores in implementing the Agreement</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15.1</td> <td>Conserve and restore terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems</td> <td><div class="ps ps151"></div></td> <td>In 2020, on average, 44 per cent of each terrestrial and 41 per cent of each freshwater and each mountain KBA were within protected areas, an increase of 12 to 13 percentage points since 2000. However, the majority of KBAs still have incomplete or no coverage by protected areas. Moreover, since 2010, the increase in coverage has slowed considerably compared with the previous decade.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15.2</td> <td>Promote sustainable management of forests, halt deforestation and re-store degraded forests</td> <td><div class="ps ps152"></div></td> <td>The world's forest area continues to shrink, although at a slightly slower pace than in previous decades. From 2015 to 2020, the annual rate of deforestation was estimated at 10 million hectares <em>(progress indicated in yellow)</em>. While forest loss remains high, 2020 data show the proportion of forests in protected areas and under long-term management plans, as well as certified forest area, increased or remained stable at the global level and in most regions of the world <em>(progress indicated in green)</em>.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15.5</td> <td>Protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species</td> <td><div class="ps ps155"></div></td> <td>Globally, species extinction risk has worsened by about 10 per cent over the last three decades, with the Red List Index declining from 0.82 in 1990 to 0.75 in 2015, and to 0.73 in 2020 (a value of 1 indicates no threat to extinction and a value of 0 indicates all species are extinct).</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15.8</td> <td>Prevent invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems</td> <td><div class="ps ps158"></div></td> <td>The overall rate of biological invasions shows no sign of slowing down, with growth in both the number of invasive species and their spread due to increased trade and transport <em>(progress indicated in red)</em>. However, preliminary results of a survey carried out by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Invasive Species Specialist Group show an increased commitment by national governments to prevent and manage the spread of such species <em>(progress indicated in green)</em>.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15.9</td> <td>Integrate ecosystem and biodiversity values in governmental planning and accounts</td> <td><div class="ps ps159"></div></td> <td>As of January 2020, 113 parties had assessed progress towards their national targets related to Aichi Biodiversity Target 2. About half of the parties made progress towards their targets, but not at a rate that will allow them to achieve their goals by the end of 2020.

That year, road traffic injuries were the leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 5 to 29 years.

Australia, European Union institutions, France, Japan and Turkey accounted for nearly two thirds of this total. The largest recipient regions were Asia and Africa, and the largest beneficiary countries were the Philippines, Indonesia, Republic of Moldova and Viet Nam.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8.6</td> <td>Reduce the proportion of youth not engaged in employment, education or training</td> <td><div class="ps ps86"></div></td> <td>In 2019, 22 per cent of the world's youth were not employed or engaged in education or training, a share that has changed little since 2005.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8.b</td> <td>Develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment</td> <td><div class="ps ps8b"></div></td> <td>According to 2019 data from 102 countries, 98 per cent had a youth employment strategy or plan to develop one in the near future.

In addition, most countries reported that they were carrying out a national statistical plan (141 countries and territories in 2019, up from 129 in 2018).
