Abstract:
In the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a list of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) has been approved connecting the issues of multidimensional poverty, inequality and exclusion, and sustainability. Seven of these goals are referred to environmental sustainability, thus significantly increasing the weight assigned to this field in the previous Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The monitoring of sustainable development goals represents a challenge, especially for less developed countries, where a data revolution is needed to address the existing gap. In spite of this fact, this paper provides significant evidence about the existing differences in the benefits of development between countries, suggesting the need of further efforts aimed at “leaving no one behind” as stated in the first SDG report
