With six years left to achieve the 2030 Agenda, only 17% of targets included in the 17 SDGs are on track to be achieved or have already been achieved; the rest show minimal progress, have stagnated or regressed. For SDG 3 on health, only 10% of targets have been met or are on track to be met. On the other hand, 117.3 million people were forcibly displaced in 2023, 8% more than in 2022, and acute food insecurity affected 281.6 million people in 59 countries and territories.

To cover all existing needs in the world, health and non-health, humanitarian and non-humanitarian, the DAC countries allocated 223,610 million dollars to cooperation, 0.37% of GDP. Spanish cooperation contributed 3,595 million euros to DAC countries' ODA, 0.24% of gross national income (GNI). Decentralised cooperation contributed 415.7 million euros to Spanish ODA, 0.12% of the budget of all the Autonomous Communities.

The event was moderated by Patricia Rodríguez of El País and featured:

- Pilar García Doñoro, vice-president of Médicos del Mundo

- Paul Ortega, director of eLankidetza - Basque Agency for Cooperation and Solidarity
