 What is SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to
action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
In the year 2015, leaders from 193 countries of the world came together to face the future.

SDGs 2030
Agenda
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared
blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global
partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve
health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve
our oceans and forests.

Poverty
While extreme poverty in developing Asia is forecast to shrink to 1% of
the population by 2030, rates of moderate poverty and economic
vulnerability will remain disturbingly high.
The rates of extreme and moderate poverty (based on 2017 PPP) in
developing Asia for 2022 have been estimated at 3.9% and 18.8%,
respectively. The latest forecasts suggest that, by 2030, only 1% of the
population (or 37.9 million people) in the region will be living in extreme
poverty but 8% (or 336 million people) will still be moderately poor.
Additionally, 30.3% of the region’s population (or 1.26 billion people)
are forecast to be economically vulnerable in 2030 (Figure 1.7).
Disasters
The ASEAN region has become more vulnerable to climate-related
disasters in 2020 relative to 2016 as shown by the increasing average
level of population affected by such disasters. Vulnerability is an
important dimension of poverty especially in areas that frequently
experience these disasters as many people including the non-poor
can easily fall into poverty. In 2020, an average of 2,546.8 individuals
per 100,000 population either died, got missing, or were directly
affected by climate-related disasters. This marked an increment of 554
per 100,000 population in comparison to 2016. Such an increase
emanated from the experience of five AMS which reported increased
proportions of population adversely affected by climate-related
disasters. These were Lao PDR, Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, and
Viet Nam, with Lao PDR and Thailand suffering the largest increases.
Cambodia, Philippines and Thailand reported a reduced level between
2016 and 2020. That for Philippines, however, is not comparable with
those of the rest of the AMS because its data include human-induced
disasters. Brunei Darussalam and Singapore both reported zero
numbers because they rarely experience such disasters. The ASEAN
aggregate data exclude those of the Philippines and Viet Nam due to
inconsistent definition.

GOAL 1
The ASEAN region has become more vulnerable to climate-related disasters in 2020
relative to 2016 as shown by the increasing average level of population affected by
such disasters. Vulnerability is an important dimension of poverty especially in areas
that frequently experience these disasters as many people including the non-poor can
easily fall into poverty. In 2020, an average of 2,546.8 individuals per 100,000
population either died, got missing, or were directly affected by climate-related
disasters. This marked an increment of 554 per 100,000 population in comparison to
2016. Such an increase emanated from the experience of five AMS which reported
increased proportions of population adversely affected by climate-related disasters.
These were Lao PDR, Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Viet Nam, with Lao PDR
and Thailand suffering the largest increases. Cambodia, Philippines and Thailand
reported a reduced level between 2016 and 2020. That for Philippines, however, is not
comparable with those of the rest of the AMS because its data include human-induced
disasters. Brunei Darussalam and Singapore both reported zero numbers because
they rarely experience such disasters. The ASEAN aggregate data exclude those of the
Philippines and Viet Nam due to inconsistent definition.
GDP
In 2020, the real GDP per capita of ASEAN
member states contracted by 4.3 percent, on
average. All ASEAN economies except Brunei
Darussalam recorded either a contraction or
slower growth in their real GDP per capita. The
level of contraction ranged from -3 to -10.8
percent. Lao PDR and Viet Nam experienced
slower growth rates in 2020 when compared to
this report’s base year of 2016. Figure 16. SDG

UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE
In 2020, the ASEAN region experienced an
unemployment rate at of 5.4 percent, higher by 1.5
percentage points from 2016’s 3.9 percent. Among the
AMS with available data for 2020, the Philippines, Brunei
Darussalam, and Indonesia saw the highest
unemployment rates of 10.3, 7.5, and 7.1 percent,
respectively. Relative to 2016, unemployment rates of
Thailand and the Philippines nearly doubled while that in
Cambodia increased 12 times. Indonesia’s rate also
increased by 1.5 percentage points while those in
Malaysia and Singapore both increased by 1.1
percentage points
