A 2022 #UNESCAP report found the #pandemic to have a measurable negative effect on #SDG efforts w/in the #AsiaPacific region. Despite some increases in available indicator data (by country), there remains a global region-wide lag. For South-East Asia there was a nearly 40% absence or insufficiency of data. Also observed was a regional reversal of indicator progress for #SDG6 #SDG11 and #SDG12, UN goals that call for reductions in #solidwaste & other #toxic #pollution.
