Sustainable Development Goals: A comparative overview

The policies of the most developed countries are guided by sustainable development and the well-being of people, not only from an economic aspect, but also a social perspective, and in relation to the environment. In order for such policies to be better integrated, the UN created Agenda 2030 as a call to draw attention to new society needs. All UN member states approved this initiative, including Bulgaria, a Balkan country that joined the EU in 2007. We have collected data on Bulgaria's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators, and those of the European Union, using the EU's benchmarks as a reference point. Subsequently, we have interpreted the results, focusing on specific areas that require particular attention or where significant progress has been made.
