The Nordic Sustainable Development Report 2025 provides a critical examination of how the Nordic countries advance the SDGs, both domestically and through their effects abroad. While the region continues to score highly within Europe, the assessment shows that these results largely reflect long-standing institutional strengths rather than recent progress. The report highlights substantial and persistent challenges, including major environmental pressures and significant negative international spillovers that undermine global sustainability efforts. By bringing these issues into clearer focus, the analysis underscores the need for renewed commitment and more transformative action across the Nordic region.
