In summary the SDG Index tracks country performance on 17 SDGs which are weighted equally in the Index. The score signifies a country’s position between the worst (0) and the best or target (100) outcomes.

• For example Denmark (SDG #1) had the highest overall Index score (85) that suggests that the country is on average 85% of the way to the best possible outcome across the 17 SDGs. Therefore, Thailand's (SDG #40) score of 73  suggests that the country is on average 73% of the way to the best possible outcome across the 17 SDG's.
