ABSTRACT

The recent challenges of the contemporary world have brought into question the long-term sustainability of human activities. In 2015, all the countries of the UN General Assembly made a commitment to promote sustainability in the Agenda 2030, which introduced a worldwide concept of 17 main goals in achieving sustainable development – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To become successful in meeting the SDGs, the necessity of measuring, evaluating and controlling the goals emerges. The aim of our study is to enrich this area of research by introducing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) into the assessment of the level of the SDGs achievement and the measurement of the countries’ progress. We apply the DEA to compute the relative efficiency of the individual countries in fulfilling their commitment. The best performers that we identify are Finland, Japan and Iceland. Next, we estimate a year in which the individual countries may be able to achieve the SDGs if they continue with their current strategies. Following the actual pace of the improvements, we find that only five countries are on track to become relatively efficient by or around 2030.

实现可衡量的可持续发展目标的效率

摘要

当代世界最近面临的挑战使人类活动的长期可持续性受到质疑。2015年,联合国大会所有国家都承诺在2030年议程中促进可持续发展,该议程引入了实现可持续发展的17个主要目标的全球概念——可持续发展目标(SDGs)。为了成功实现可持续发展目标,衡量、评估和控制目标的必要性出现了。我们研究的目的是通过将数据包络分析 (DEA) 引入可持续发展目标成就水平的评估和国家进展的衡量中来丰富这一研究领域。我们应用 DEA 来计算各个国家履行承诺的相对效率。我们确定的表现最好的是芬兰,日本和冰岛。接下来,我们估计各个国家如果继续目前的战略,他们可能能够实现可持续发展目标的一年。按照改进的实际速度,我们发现只有五个国家有望在 2030 年或前后变得相对高效。
