The International Development Strategy and Integrated Review reaffirm the UK's commitment to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

We have demonstrated leadership on the SDGs as one of the largest donors to the international response tackling COVID-19, and through our G7 and COP Presidencies.

We welcome the recommendations from Bond's report and are grateful for their thorough analysis. We will continue to work with them closely on how we can best work together to achieve the SDGs.
