UN Proposes Extending Sustainable Development Goals to 2050

The new framework aims to address unmet targets by incorporating emerging technologies and setting interim milestones.

Current SDGs are unlikely to be met by the 2030 deadline due to economic and geopolitical challenges.
The updated goals will include interim targets for 2030 and 2040, with final targets set for 2050.
Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies will be integrated into the new framework.
Enhanced global cooperation and financial reforms are essential for achieving these extended goals.
The proposal will be discussed at the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024.
