Finding: The assessment of Denmark’s fulfillment of the SDGs is visualized by combining a traffic light model to assess the progress (Green: Sufficient policy and implementation, and/or fulfillment based on data; Yellow: Sufficient policy in the area, but a lack of implementation and/or partial fulfillment based on data; Red: Absence of sufficient policy and implementation, and/or lack of fulfillment based on data) and an arrows system to indicate the trend (↑: Good progress based on data and/or policy and political focus; →: Stable fulfillment based on data and/or policy and political focus; ↓: Negative/poor progress based on data and/or policy and political focus).
Year: 2017Income Group: High incomeSource: VNR
Finding: A business community initiative partnered with the national statistics office to identify better ways to measure the impacts of SDG-related initiatives. The final goal of this work was to create a multi-stakeholder-based dataset to support evidence-based decision-making and the preparation of the government’s annual SDG progress review. The Danish business community also conducted research on how SDG implementation could be measured and reported in private companies’ reports.
