Sustainable development

Sustainable development statistics provide an overview of Estonia's progress towards the goals of the global sustainable development agenda, adopted at the UN summit in 2015.

In the resolution Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the UN Member States agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets.

The Commission for Sustainable Development approved the relevant indicators for Estonia to monitor progress towards the goals. The Commission also identified country-specific goals concerning the cultural space, which are not among the global goals but were considered important for Estonia.

Monitoring and comparing the trends helps to analyse sustainability in Estonia. It is the basis for making important decisions in Estonia as well as globally.
