Briefing
Based on this index (Sachs et al., 2019), the top 10 countries in terms of progress to achieve the SDGs are all Eionet countries. In addition, Eionet countries represent 20 of the top 25 globally.
The country profiles highlight the diversity of action happening in Eionet countries to achieve the SDGs at the national level. While information from UN VNRs is readily accessible, this analysis has also relied on the review of publicly available (online) information to gain an overview of SDG actions and mechanisms. Thus, this approach reflects the level of information available in VNRs and the varied nature and extent of information available online among countries as well as the frequency with which information is updated.
Any inaccuracies in relation to national actions on SDGs are therefore the result of this approach rather than deliberate omission. However, the feedback and inputs received during the wider NFP/Eionet consultation during February-April 2020 enabled the country profiles to be improved with complementary and updated information.
By the end of 2020, all EEA member countries will have submitted at least one VNR, with further progress in national SDG indicator development and reporting expected in the coming years. 2023 marks the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda (2015-2030).
