Abstract: All member states of the United Nations adopted Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. The 17 SDGs describe a universal agenda that applies to and must be implemented by all countries. We take the metrics and data provided in the SDG Index and Dashboards Reports and the Report of a Study by Stakeholder Forum and transform them into a fuzzy logic setting. This allows for the analysis of the results in these reports by using techniques of mathematics of uncertainty. We focus on countries making up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). We provide a ranking of the countries in the OECD as to their achievement of the SDGs.
