Abstract

Using a representative indicator for each goal, this chapter conducts a quantitative assessment of current progress over 2000 to 2018 for each of the 17 SDGs. This assessment is applied to all countries of the world, to low-income countries, and our nine selected countries. Based on our measure of quantitative change, we then assess whether the representative indicator for each of the 17 SDGs has been improving or declining since 2000. This chapter also discusses other approaches that have been developed for assessing progress in attaining the SDGs. We compare how the findings of these approaches compare to our results, and highlight similarity and differences in our methods of assessing progress.
