The Progress of the Greek Regions in Relation to the Sustainable Development Goals
SDSN Greece in collaboration with the the Athens University of Economics and Business, the “Athena” Research Center and the Regional Policy Observatory, together with the support of Data Consultants, published the first recording of the progress towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the regional level. The current report presents a first step to target assessment for the thirteen first-level administrative entities - regions in Greece for the SDGs. The report builds on the approach and methodology used by the SDSN (Lafortune et al., 2019; Lafortune et al., 2021). The 2019 SDG Index approach and methodology are currently being audited by the European Commission Joint Research Center. This report presents Index scores and detailed dashboards for each goal for 13 Greek regions. Thessaly and the Ionian Islands are at the top of the Index for 2022, with the former being the only Greek region that is over 50% of the way to SDG Achievement by the 2030 deadline. Yet, even for these top performing regions, major challenges remain in order to achieve all 17 SDGs.
