SDGs
The 2020 SDG Index is out, ranking countries on their Sustainable Development Goals progress. More interesting than the ranking (1 Sweden, 2 Denmark, 3 Finland) is the new pilot COVID Index (1 South Korea, 2 Latvia, 3 Australia) and analysis on which SDGs are worst affected by COVID-19 (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 8 and 10). Their Six Transformations are also a helpful framing: 1. Education, Gender, and Inequality, 2. Health, Wellbeing, and Demography, 3. Energy Decarbonization and Sustainable Industry, 4. Sustainable Food, Land, Water and Oceans, 5. Sustainable Cities and Communities, 6. Harnessing the Digital Revolution for Sustainable Development.
