Measuring Distance to the SDG Targets 2019
An Assessment of Where OECD Countries Stand
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set a broad and ambitious programme for the
world to achieve by 2030. With 17 Goals, underpinned by 169 Targets, the complex and
integrated nature of the 2030 Agenda presents national governments with huge challenges
for implementation. To assist countries, the OECD has developed a unique methodology
allowing comparison of progress across SDG goals and targets. Based on the UN Global
List of 244 indicators, this study evaluates the distance that OECD countries need
to travel to meet SDG targets for which data is currently available. This 2019 edition
of the study presents the latest results for OECD countries, both on average and individually,
as well as new exploratory approaches to assessing progress over time and transboundary
aspects of the SDGs. By providing a high-level overview of countries’ strengths and
weaknesses in performance across the SDGs, this study aims to support member countries
in navigating the SDGs and in setting their own priorities for action within the broad
2030 Agenda.
