Measuring Sustainable Development Goals Performance
Measuring Sustainable Development Goals Performance by Sten Thore, published by Elsevier Science in December 2021, is a comprehensive examination of the frameworks used to evaluate social, economic, and environmental policies related to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). This 312-page book presents a quantitative and analytical approach, allowing for the ranking of nations based on their performance in achieving specific SDGs and revealing previously unnoticed deficits in areas such as elderly care and personal safety.
Readers will find a balanced and holistic perspective on assessing progress toward the SDGs, with tools and metrics designed for diverse settings. The book extends its analysis to include data from the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrating how certain nations faced higher excess death rates due to existing deficits. By exploring international collaborations aimed at establishing a new Social Contract among global partners, this edition provides valuable insights into the intersection of economic development, social progress, and environmental policy.
Official synopsis Publisher
Measuring Sustainable Development Goals Performance provides a quantitative and analytical framework for evaluating social, economic, and environmental policies aiming at the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Continuing their earlier work on multidimensional analysis, the authors demonstrate how nations can be ranked in terms of their performance in meeting a given set of SDGs, providing numerical calculation of SDGs deficit. Their calculations show that even before the arrival of the COVID-19 virus, there existed in several large Western nations undetected pockets of SDG deficits, such as in the care for the elderly, personal safety, and hygiene. Extending the calculations to cover COVID-19 data for 2020, it turns out that the same deficit nations also suffered excess death rates caused by the virus.
This book offers a balanced and holistic paradigm for evaluating progress of the SDGs, assisting the convergence of national and international efforts toward economic development, social progress, and environmental protection.
