Leave-No-One-Behind Rankings

The leave-no-one-behind (LNOB) performance of European countries

OverallSpilloversLeave-no-one-behind

Countries are ranked by their leave-no-one-behind (LNOB) score. The SDGs are guided by the principle to "leave no one behind". The LNOB Index tracks inequalities along four dimensions: poverty, services, gender, and income. A higher score means that fewer population groups are being left behind.
