Progress and Challenges in Global Sustainability

This study aims to evaluate and analyze global sustainability over three decades, from 1990 to 2020.To achieve this, a sustainability index was constructed based on the underlying theories of the concept, using representative indicators of its three dimensions: environmental, social, and economic.The data were processed using the Stata software.The results show that the global sustainability index has had an upward trend, although with some setbacks in certain periods, such as between 2004 and 2007.In the last five years, there has been a consistent increase in the index, with 2020 standing out with a significantly higher value compared to previous years.It is concluded that the combined efforts of various international organizations, along with the policies implemented by countries, have been crucial in improving the level of global sustainability.
