Quantitative assessment uncovers disparities in SDG outcomes across European nations, suggesting actionable insights.

To assess the performance of European countries on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relationship with economic development.
Conducted a cross-country analysis of 25 European countries.
Developed a composite indicator (SDGI) incorporating education, health, services, employment, equality, and environment.
Employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to construct the SDGI for 2020.
Examined the correlation between SDGI and GDP per capita.
Identified significant disparities in SDG outcomes, with Northern and Western countries performing better than Central and Eastern Europe.
Found environment, equality, and education as key factors influencing SDG performance.
Noted that lower SDGI values related to weaknesses in services and equality.
Demonstrated a positive correlation between SDG achievement and GDP per capita.

Pereira et al. (2026) studied this question.
