Scope of Sustainable Development Indicators in the Post-COVID Era in México
Abstract
This research evaluates indicators of sustainable development in Mexico, analyzing their impact on the country’s economic, social, and environmental realms, and reviews the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the achievement of sustainable development goals. The methodology employed involves a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, comparing indicators from the United Nations (UN), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). The results obtained in this study reveal significant challenges, including the lack of indicator homogeneity and insufficient data availability, which hinder the accurate measurement of progress and policy formulation. Furthermore, this situation is exacerbated by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected development and consequently the attainment of sustainable development goals in Mexico. This work highlights the urgent need for standardized indicators and better data collection systems, which are essential for effective sustainable development strategies. In addition, the importance of fostering inter-institutional cooperation and civil society participation to address these challenges is emphasized, marking a critical step toward a resilient, equitable, and sustainable future for Mexico.
Keywords: sustainable development, Sustainable Development Goals, Sustainable Development Indicators, Mexico, sustainability.
