《2017 年可持续发展目标报告》中得出结论认为，虽然过去十年来发展的各个领域都取得了显著进展，但各区域的进展参差不齐，进展速度也不足以至迟于 2030 年全面实现可持续发展目标的各项具体目标。例如，2018 年，大会第 72/271 号决议中的结论是，具体目标 3.6(到 2020 年，全球道路交通事故造成的死伤人数减半)将不会实现。
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2017 concluded that, while considerable progress had been made over the past decade across all areas of development, advancements had been uneven across regions and the pace of progress had been insufficient to fully meet the Sustainable Development Goal targe ts by 2030. For example, in 2018, the General Assembly, in its resolution 72/271, concluded that target 3.6, halving global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents by 2020, would not be met.
