Abstract: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the possibilities of evaluating sustainable development in regions based on the 2030 Agenda, and in particular to identify issues that need more attention. Our interest is focused on issues with compiling CIs for a small number of regions with limited available data. The article offers a critical discussion of various methods of aggregation, which are derived from the respective level of compensability, robustness, and sensitivity of the results.
