Our SDG scorecard assesses global, year-on-year progress, from a general perspective and through an impact investing lens, towards achieving the UN’s 17 SDGs. Our assessment is based on one key representative indicator per goal. For example, to measure progress across SDG 14 (Life Below Water), we use the Ocean Health Index as our primary metric to determine the score for this goal. We also provide contextual detail and qualitative analysis alongside each score, including key developments, considerations and figures to provide an in-depth insight into how much work is needed worldwide to achieve the UN’s 2030 agenda. On a scale of 1-10, we have allocated a number to each SDG, indicating whether the world is on target, behind schedule or ahead of schedule in terms of progress. An SDG with a score of 5 out of 10, for example, means that we think the world is on track towards delivering that goal. On our slider, the highlighted square indicates the latest (2021) score, while the faded square shows 2020 score, demonstrating how much (or how little) progress has been made in a year, based on our analysis. While we support the UN SDGs, we are not associated with the UN and our funds are not endorsed by them
