The  Race  to  Nourish  a  Warming  World 

The 2024 Goalkeepers Report warns that climate change and underfunded health systems are fueling a global malnutrition crisis. With over 400 million children lacking vital nutrients, it calls for urgent investments in tools and research to get the world back on track. 

Imagine  a  World 

The 2023 Goalkeepers Report brings attention to an alarming reality: maternal and newborn deaths remain high, with progress lagging halfway to 2030. It outlines seven low-cost innovations that could save two million lives with global support and investments. 

The  Future  of  Progress 

In the face of overlapping crises like COVID-19, climate shocks, and conflict, the 2022 Goalkeepers Report makes clear that nearly every Global Goals indicator is off track at the halfway mark to 2030. And yet, there is hope. With human ingenuity, the world can make progress in food security and gender equality and make bold breakthroughs.

Innovation  &  Inequity 

The 2021 Goalkeepers Report reveals COVID‑19’s sharp setbacks across the Global Goals. The pandemic pushed 31 million more people into extreme poverty and severely disrupted childhood vaccination in low‑income countries. But it also celebrates how long‑term investments in systems, women-led community initiatives, and health infrastructure helped the world avert worst-case scenarios and laid the groundwork for a more equitable recovery.

COVID- 19:  A  Global  Perspective   

The 2020 Goalkeepers Report shows how COVID‑19 swiftly erased two decades of progress on nearly every Global Goals indicator. Yet it also highlights bold innovations that range from pooled testing to digital cash transfers and urges an equitable, collaborative global response to reclaim lost ground and rebuild toward the 2030 goals.

Examining  Inequality 

The 2019 Goalkeepers Report exposes how gender and geography still decide a person’s life outcomes. Where you’re born can be more predictive of your future than any other factor, with nearly half a billion people lacking access to basic health and education. It also champions bright spots like inclusion policies and community health worker models as proof that strategic investment in primary health care and digital innovation can help level the playing field.

Is  Poverty  Inevitable? 

The 2018 Goalkeepers Report warns that progress in poverty reduction and health could stall as youth populations surge. But it also argues that attention to young people through health and education can unlock human capital and repeat the rapid progress seen in countries like China, India, and Ethiopia.

The  Stories  Behind  the  Data 

The first-ever Goalkeepers Report showcased dramatic gains in global health and poverty reduction since 1990 while tracking 18 key Global Goals indicators like child and maternal mortality, HIV, malaria, and financial inclusion. The report urges the world to continue its support of bold leadership and innovation to keep advancement on track through 2030 and beyond.
