Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and corresponding targets for 2030 have been adopted by world leaders at the historic UN summit in 2015. Rankings are often constructed in order to hold countries accountable to achieve these targets. This paper illustrates the sensitivity of rankings to the choice of indicators and methodological assumptions by comparing the three most prominent methods using the sample of EU28 countries. The results of our analysis suggest that a country's relative position depends almost entirely on the chosen method and indicators.

世界各国领导人在 2015 年具有历史意义的联合国峰会上通过了可持续发展目标 (SDG) 和相应的 2030 年具体目标。通常会构建排名以让各国对实现这些目标负责。本文通过使用欧盟 28 国的样本比较三种最突出的方法，说明了排名对指标选择和方法论假设的敏感性。我们的分析结果表明，一个国家的相对地位几乎完全取决于所选择的方法和指标。
