Raising the Quality of Growth

Most countries have set their development priorities according to SDG goals and targets and the Paris climate change agreement. Both are mutually reinforcing—one cannot be achieved without the other. Many SDGs address the core drivers of climate change, while the Paris Agreement highlights the fundamental importance of reducing carbon emissions to well-being and development. The indicators used by the United Nations to gauge progress on attaining the SDGs by 2030 may not, however, be applicable for tracking regional, national, and subnational progress. This is where the IGGI can help by mapping SDG goals and targets to the index’s indicators. The IGGI was designed to measure progress on inclusive and environmentally sustainable growth at the national level and can provide an alternative or complementary method to assess progress in achieving SDGs. As Figure 6 shows, IGGI indicators can measure many SDG goals and targets. And since all IGGI indicators are from frequently updated public data, the process of tracking progress in national development priorities and global goals is easy and transparent.
