This exhaustive survey assesses the performance of the United
Nations and its member states in all key areas, at the same time as
laying down a road map for sustainable development in the future.
Deploying the Human Green Development Index as a new metric for an
era in which human survival is intimately dependent on the
viability of the Earth as a clean and sustainable habitat, the
report showcases a vast array of data, including HGDI indicators
for more than 120 nations. It provides a detailed and comparative
rationale for the selection of data for the 12 goals and 54 HGDI
targets, which cover human and global needs into the future. The
index measures 12 Sustainable Development Goals, based on but also
extending the eight Millennium Development Goals defined in 2000.
The SDGs, proposed by a high-level UN panel, will supersede MDGs in
2015. They focus on ending poverty, achieving gender equality,
providing quality education for all, helping people live healthy
lives, securing sustainable energy use, and creating jobs offering
sustainable livelihoods. They also work towards equitable growth,
stable and peaceful societies, greater efficiency in governance,
and closer international cooperation. With indicators covering
everything from air particulates to percentage of threatened animal
species in a nation’s total, and informed by the latest research
(with inequality-adjusted metrics for amenities such as education
and healthcare), this comprehensive study offers readers not only a
wealth of valuable core data, but also a well-argued rationale for
using the HGDI. In today’s world, we cannot view our development
as being distinct from, and unaffected by, that of the Earth we
inhabit, or that of our planetary cohabitees.
