Economists Highlight Six Transitions Framework as Accelerator for Vision 2030 and the SDGs in Jamaica
17 January 2024
Recent global assessments on the Sustainable Development Goals show that at the halfway point, progress is behind where we should be. The 2023 Sustainable Development Report showed that only 1 in 8 of the SDG targets were on track and UNCTAD’s 2023 World Investment Report further revealed that the annual investment deficit to achieve the SDGs had increased to US$4 Trillion up from US$2.5 Trillion in 2015 when the SDGs were adopted. Jamaica’s SDG performance currently ranks 82nd globally. While its SDG performance index score (69.6) lies above other Small Island Developing States (63.9) and Caribbean (65.9) averages, it is evident that with the clock ticking, substantial challenges remain for it to deliver on its Goals. Time is very much of the essence.
