Based on 103 available indicators allowing a coverage of 80 of the 169 SDG targets, Mexico has currently achieved 10 of the 2030 targets, and some of the remaining distances to targets are small (Figure 2.45). For example, Mexico has relatively low rates of alcohol consumption, low energy intensity and a low unemployment rate (targets 3.5, 7.3 and 8.5). However, a significant number of challenges remain; Mexico is still very far (i.e. more than 3 standardised distances away) from meeting some 28% of the targets. For instance, Mexico has a high prevalence of food insecurity (target 2.1), poor access to improved drinking water sources (target 6.1) and a rather low recycling rate (targets 11.6 and 12.5).
