The Asia-Pacific region has been derailed from achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 due to the convergence of multiple global crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the worsening climate crisis. These crises have caused significant disruptions to energy and food markets, driven prices to record highs and pushed millions of people into poverty. The recent economic and social turmoil has put immense pressure on public finances and reduced financial resources available to achieve the SDGs. The 2023 Asia-Pacific SDG Partnership Report examines the role of energy, food and finance in amplifying shocks while also highlighting their role in providing synergistic solutions. The report analyzes the impacts of the cascading energy-food-finance crises on economic, educational, employment and health outcomes, particularly among the most vulnerable. It also explores how innovations in food, energy and financial systems are vital to renew development momentum and improve resilience in the region.
