The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a globally agreed blueprint to build a better world for people and our planet by 2030. In adopting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, world leaders resolved to free humanity from poverty, secure a healthy planet for future generations, and build peaceful, inclusive societies as a foundation for ensuring lives of dignity for all. The 2030 Agenda is a universal agenda that applies to all countries; even the richest have yet to fully ensure women’s rights, conquer inequality, or safeguard the environment. The seminar aims to situate this topic within the social science context of social indicator research. Taking the Brundlandt Report (1987) as a point of departure, the seminar will examine the indicator-based approaches of the OECD as well as the European Commission and the United Nations in relation to the social indicators approaches used in the social sciences. Focusing on five of the 17 SDGs, the seminar will introduce and critically discuss basic methodological principles and their practical operationalization. close
