Cover Story: The SDGs have made a significant contribution to the sustainability movement. However, have they changed the previous trend of sustainability challenges? This article aims to answer this question by statistically comparing the trends in the sustainability performance of the SDGs before and after they were launched in 2015. Data were collected for every SDG, and their trends were quantitatively assessed. It was found that most of the SDGs have not significantly improved and that most of the sustainability indicators are still performing poorly in developing countries. While this research is exploratory, it suggests that the SDGs have not significantly changed sustainability trends since they were launched in 2015. This article should serve as a wake-up call to design more suitable sustainability frameworks as the SDGs expire in 2030. View this paper
