The SDG Index tracks country performance on the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as agreed by the international community in 2015. The score signifies a country’s position between the worst (0) and the best or target (100) outcomes.
No country is on track for achieving all 17 SDGs, but Denmark tops the index, followed by Sweden and Finland.
“Denmark’s overall Index score (85) suggests that the country is on average 85% of the way to the best possible outcome across the 17 SDGs”
