The Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are a roadmap for countries in their pursuit of prosperity.The Agenda defines the principal areas of the signatory countries' activity to build a society of prosperity regarding the level of social stability increasing in situations of uncertainty, risks, and crises.Global threats and conflicts and related humanitarian crises threaten to undo much of the development progress achieved in recent decades.For the second year, we have not seen progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.The article examines the results of information support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals at the level of scientific publications posted in the ERA (Education Research Abstracts) database in 2015-2022.The results of the data analysis showed an uneven interest in the SDGs on the part of the scientific community and the representation of specific SDGs in scientific publications.In particular, in 2015, SDG 2, SDG 6, and SDG 7 were the «outsiders» in terms of representation in scientific publications.The difference between the lowest (260 -SDG 2) and the largest (26 305 -SDG 4) number of publications in 2015 is almost 102 times.In 2022, this difference was 80.At the same time, the analysis of publication activity, starting from 2015, shows the most significant increase in the number of publications until 2022, specifically for SDG 2 and SDG 6, due to their relevance in the context of global processes.
