Una Síntesis cuantitativa del cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 de la Unión Europea

Abstract

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, passed by the UN in 2015, influences a lot of the current political decisions. This Agenda is the successor of the Millennium Development Goals, which started in the year 2000. Through this Agenda, countries commit to some obligations related to actions aimed at different objectives. In order to measure the performance of these objectives, 169 goals and 232 indicators were created by the UN. At the same time that these global objectives were created, Eurostat established 100 indicators focused in the European Union countries to monitor their development relating the 2030 Agenda. This paper aims to develop an analysis of the strong and weak points of European Union countries regarding said objectives, analyzing also the convergence or divergence among them. In order to do so, we will create partial synthetic indexes for each objective, combining the existing information about the indicators gathered by Eurostat, with the aim of obtaining a synthetic index that provides a global vision of the (relative) situation in each European Union country.
