The paper analyses the threats to the realization of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals report 2019 in the light of the recent report of the global futures (i.e The World Wildlife Fund) on the unfolding trends on the world’s environmental conditions in Nigeria/the globe and calls for sustained global action. In achieving its purpose, this paper referred to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019 and the recent updates from the World Wild Life Fund (WWF) and concludes that the world must move fast to implement the goals contained in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019 to avoid catastrophic impacts in annual global losses from flooding, storms, ocean surges and erosions due to changes in vegetation along coastlines and sea-level rises, loss of carbon storage, climatic changes etc.  The paper ends with a conclusion and set of recommendations.
