Progress has stalled or reversed for more than a 1/3 of SDGs and is slow on nearly half; only 15% remain on track. More people live in extreme poverty than before the pandemic, and the goal of gender equality will take nearly 300 years to realize at current pace. carnegieendowment.org/2023/0…

A year ago, Mahsa Amini died after being arrested and tortured for allegedly breaking Iran’s mandatory hijab law. Mass protests ensued.
@richardhorton1 writes about events since, doctors implicated in human rights abuses, and the intersection of health and women’s rights. /2

Whether it is vaccine delivery or climate financing, the global North & South have experienced different paths – widening their divide. Repairing that rift is key to overcoming our shared global challenges. I explain more in my @ForeignAffairs piece: foreignaffairs.com/guest-pas…
