Abstract

This article discusses the results of the study on the formation of the BRICS Sustainable Development Index. The authors describe the methodology of the index, the indicator selection process, and methodological problems and challenges, and also provide a detailed analysis of the dynamics of sustainable development goal (SDG) indicators for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in 2015–20. The results of the study indicate both the overall progress of the BRICS countries toward SDG implementation and the presence of negative trends in a number of areas and for some countries. For 53 of the 64 indicators selected for the analysis, positive trends were recorded, on average, across BRICS. Nevertheless, the index identified several negative trends across a number of issue areas for individual states and for the group as a whole. These trends include: an increase in the average prevalence of malnutrition, an increase in the number of people in need of treatment for tropical diseases, increasing pressure on water ecosystems in the BRICS countries amid a decrease in their area, a decrease in the share of research and development expenditures of gross national product (GDP), and a decline in biodiversity indicators.

金砖国家可持续发展指数:成果

本文讨论了金砖国家可持续发展指数形成的研究结果。作者描述了该指数的方法、指标选择过程、方法上的问题和挑战，并详细分析了2015-20年金砖国家（巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南非）可持续发展目标指标的动态。研究结果表明，金砖国家在落实可持续发展目标方面取得了总体进展，在一些领域和一些国家也存在负面趋势。在选择用于分析的64个指标中，有53个指标的金砖国家平均呈积极趋势。尽管如此，该指数在各个州和整个群体的一些问题领域发现了一些负面趋势。这些趋势包括：营养不良的平均患病率增加，需要治疗热带疾病的人数增加，金砖国家的水生态系统在面积减少的情况下面临的压力增加，研究和开发支出在国民生产总值中的份额下降，以及生物多样性指标下降。
