Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (Sdg) in Portugal and Forecast of Key Indicators Until 2030

Abstract

In the current economic, social and political context, maintaining a stable trajectory of sustainable development, and thus achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, must be the central objective of every European country. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the level of achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Portugal, given that there were no similar published studies. The data used in the research was compiled from European Statistical Office – Eurostat, from 2007 until the most recent reports, and were processed and interpreted based on dynamic indices and time series forecasting (ARIMA model). Research results predict 57.50% achievement of the SDG targets, placing Portugal in the ranks of EU countries with high performance in terms of sustainable development and transition to a low-carbon economy.

Circular Economy and Fuzzy Set Theory: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review Based on Industry 4.0 Technologies Perspective

“…The 408 articles were examined, and after removing irrelevant publications such as conference call papers, 399 publications were left for bibliometric analysis. (Firoiu et al, 2022). The UN established the 2030 Agenda for SDCs in 2015, which included 17 sustainable development objectives.…”

“…The first citation appeared in 2008, however, publications were cited 2458 times in 2022 alone, demonstrating the high regard the later researchers hold for earlier studies and the field is developing at a previously unheard-of rate. The main reasons for this include the promotion and support of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the rising global agreement among nations to address environmental concerns including resource scarcity and climate change(Firoiu et al, 2022). The UN established the 2030 Agenda for SDCs in 2015, which included 17 sustainable development objectives.…”

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals: The EU Perspective

“…Research on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda is of increasing interest to researchers. The amount of literature in this area is growing rapidly [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The innovative approach taken by the authors is to estimate the time required to achieve the set sustainable development goals while maintaining the current pace of change.…”

Forecasting Sustainable Development Indicators in Romania: A Study in the European Context

“…The interest given to the identification of the route to be taken towards the achievement of these objectives was concentrated both at the global [25] and EU levels [26], locally-the member states [27,28]-as well as outside the EU area, the objectives being analyzed together [15], then at the objective level [29], but also only certain targets that compose various objectives [30,31].…”
