Key Indicators for the SDGs

Edward Barbier and Joanne Burgess

Chapter Chapter 3 in Economics of the SDGs, 2021, pp 41-54 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses our selection of key indicators for assessing progress towards each SDG and its associated target. We begin by discussing the relationship between SDGs, targets, and indicators. We then explain the criteria for choosing our representative indicators for assessing progress towards each SDG, and our representative selection of countries to apply our analysis. As the UN Agenda 2030 is global in focus, we apply our analysis to all countries of the world, and we conduct a separate analysis for low-income countries. Finally, we also select three representative economics each from all low-income, lower middle-income, and upper middle-income economies.
