Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025

The Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025 provides an independent quantitative assessment of the progress of the European Union, its member states and partner countries towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a context where the new EU leadership, including the European Commission, Parliament and Council of the EU, has recently been established for the period 2024-2029, this sixth edition of the ESDR presents a narrative report and updated database identifying Europe’s SDG priorities.

The report assesses the progress of 41 countries on the SDGs: EU member states, European Free Trade Area (EFTA) countries, candidate countries, and the UK. This year, Finland, Denmark and Sweden top the rankings. In addition to overall scores, we also feature a special spillover index and Leave-No-One-Behind index.

Our interactive maps showcase the performance of countries on each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Visualize countries' current performance or visualize trends to see which countries are on track. Dig into each of the 111 indicators covered in the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025.

Our report features a dedicated profile page for each EU member state and the EU overall, showing performance and trends by SDG and by indicator. By clicking on a goal or indicator, you can view historical timeseries (when available) and detailed indicator metadata in the side panel.

Visualize and track countries' performance on each of the 103 trend indicators included in the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025. The Data Explorer features historical data for countries from 2000 onwards. You can display all countries at once or select specific countries to compare.
