UK fifth in world for health-related sustainable development goals Although the UK is ranked fifth overall in the world in making progress towards the United Nations’ health-related sustainable development goals (SDG), it is doing relatively poorly on some of the indicators – notably those relating to HIV, smoking, alcohol, suicide, overweight and air pollution.
The UN General Assembly established the SDGs in September 2015, to replace the millennium development goal (MDG) framework that expired last year; the SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. The authors of the latest assessment of progress, published today in The Lancet, have compared 33 health-related SDG indicators across 188 countries. OnMedica
