Applying the Analytical Framework

Edward Barbier and Joanne Burgess

Chapter Chapter 6 in Economics of the SDGs, 2021, pp 103-122 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter applies our theoretical framework to assess progress in attaining the 17 SDGs since 2000, using a representative indicator for each goal. We use No Poverty (SDG 1) as our benchmark indicator, and we estimate the per capita welfare change of reductions since 2000 in poverty rates net of any gains or losses in attaining each of the remaining 16 goals. We conduct this analysis for the world, for low-income countries, and for nine selected countries. Although the world has attained improvement towards sustainability since 2000, low-income economies and some individual countries have not. Progress towards environmental goals has generally been less successful compared to net gains towards economic and social goals.
