Sustainable development is every country’s goal. How they achieve it isn’t always straightforward. Evaluating progress against the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their multiple targets is complex. Few countries have done a formal evaluation but where they have, they have learnt lessons that could be shared with others.

In the second episode of podcast mini-series ‘Sustainable Development Goals – Evaluating progress for a brighter future’, Dirk Hoffmann and Nataly Salas Rodríguez from DEval host two discussions, one in English and one in Spanish, about how an SDG evaluation is done.

In the English-language episode, experts discuss what an ‘SDG evaluation’ actually means and the importance of judging progress against a range of objectives and principles set by the 2030 Agenda - rather than an advance against one target only. They shine light on the case of Finland.
