The World Bank's compilation of statistics from over 200 economies
is built around World Development Indicators (WDI) - selected
indicators have been identified and visualized to analyze trends
and challenges, and to catalyze discussion on measurement issues.
The Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2017 uses maps, charts
and analysis to illustrate, trends, challenges and measurement
issues related to each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Given the breadth and scope of the SDGs, the editors have
been selective, emphasizing issues considered important by experts
in the World Bank's Global Practices and Cross Cutting Solution
Areas. Nevertheless, The Atlas aims to reflect the breadth of the
Goals themselves and presents national and regional trends and
snapshots of progress towards the UN's seventeen Sustainable
Development Goals: poverty, hunger, health, education, gender,
water, energy, jobs, infrastructure, inequalities, cities,
consumption, climate, oceans, the environment, peace, institutions,
and partnerships. Between 1990 and 2013, nearly one billion people
were raised out of extreme poverty. Its elimination is now a
realistic prospect, although this will require both sustained
growth and reduced inequality. Even then, gender inequalities
continue to hold back human potential
