Measuring sustainable development goals performance: how to monitor policy action in the 2030 Agenda implementation?

cover
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and corresponding targets for 2030 have been adopted by world leaders at the historic UN summit in 2015. Rankings are often constructed in order to hold countries accountable to achieve these targets. This paper illustrates the sensitivity of rankings to the choice of indicators and methodological assumptions by comparing the three most prominent methods using the sample of EU28 countries. The results of our analysis suggest that a country’s relative position depends almost entirely on the chosen method and indicators.
