Abstract
For this year 2020, the European Union will have managed to reach its objectives within the climate and energy framework, bringing them closer to achieving the eradication of this environmental crisis. Since 1987, the words "sustainability" and "development" have been present in every plan to combat various world problems, one of them being climate change. In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were established, 17 goals aimed at solving these global problems, 6 of those being related to the environment. Apart from the SDG’s, the EU has established its own climate and energy targets to sustain the achievement of these 6 environmental related goals. The analysis of the achieved progress of these targets in relations to the SDG’s is the main purpose of this project. While doing a descriptive analysis, a multi factorial analysis has been made to see the similarities and characteristic between different EU countries. The results revealed great progress achieved since the implementation of the SDG's, however not all member states have progressed at the same pace or to the same degree as others, for example the states most affected by the 2008 financial crisis have had greater difficulty achieving the goals for this year 2020. Nevertheless, small progress is better than no progress at all.; Para este año 2020, la Unión Europea habrá conseguido alcanzar sus objetivos en el marco del clima y la energía, acercándolos a conseguir la erradicación de esta crisis medioambiental. Desde 1987, las palabras "sostenibilidad" y "desarrollo" han estado presentes en todos los planes para combatir diversos problemas mundiales, siendo uno de ellos el cambio climático. En 2015 se establecieron los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), 17 objetivos destinados a solucionar estos problemas globales, 6 de ellos relacionados con el medio ambiente. Además de los ODS, la UE ha establecido sus propios objetivos climáticos y energéticos para apoyar la consecución de estos 6 objetivos relacionados con el medio ambiente. El análisis del progreso alcanzado en estos objetivos en relación con los ODS es el propósito principal de este proyecto. Al mismo tiempo que se realiza un análisis descriptivo, se ha hecho un análisis multifactorial para ver las similitudes y características entre los diferentes países de la UE. Los resultados revelaron los grandes avances logrados desde la implementación de los ODS. Sin embargo, no todos los estados miembros han progresado al mismo ritmo o en el mismo grado que otros; por ejemplo, los estados más afectados por la crisis financiera de 2008 han tenido mayor dificultad para alcanzar los objetivos para este año 2020. No obstante, un pequeño progreso es mejor que ningún progreso.
