On Friday, 18th February 2022, Social Justice Ireland published Measuring Progress: The Sustainable Progress Index 2022 which ranks 14 comparable EU countries based on their delivery of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Written by Prof. Charles M.A. Clark of St John’s University, NY; Dr. Catherine Kavanagh of UCC; and Colette Bennett of Social Justice Ireland, the index compares 15 EU countries across all UN SDGs, assesses their performance on each individual SDG; creates a ranking table for performance overall; and provides national and local-level policy proposals to improve Ireland's progress towards the Goals.
Here, we listen back to Prof. Clarke as he considers measurements of Wellbeing.
