    El progreso constante en términos de desarrollo sostenible y el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) bajo la Agenda 2030 son preocupaciones de primera magnitud para todos los actores involucrados.

    A través de esta investigación, llevamos a cabo una investigación sobre el desempeño de los 28 estados miembros de la UE en términos de logros relacionados con el desarrollo sostenible, así como los factores que respaldan estos esfuerzos, a partir de los datos proporcionados por el Índice SDG y Dashboards y Eurostat. Los resultados destacan la importancia de las inversiones en I + D como principal impulsor del avance en el logro de los ODS. Al mismo tiempo, los resultados de la investigación pueden brindar apoyo a los responsables políticos y a las empresas para contribuir a una asignación más eficiente de los recursos disponibles y maximizar el impacto de los factores relevantes para garantizar la prosperidad y la seguridad de las personas y la sociedad.

    The constant progress in terms of sustainable development and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) under 2030 Agenda are preoccupations of first concern for all the actors involved. Through this research, we conduct an investigation regarding the performance of the 28 EU member states in terms of achievements related to sustainable development as well as the factors supporting these efforts, starting from the data provided by the SDG Index and Dashboards and Eurostat. The results highlight the importance of R & D investments as the main driver of advancement in achieving the SDGs. At the same time, research results can provide support for policy makers and companies to contribute to more efficient allocation of available resources and maximizing the impact of relevant factors to ensure prosperity and security for people and society.
