Bengal improves sustainability score, but falls behind on key parameters

-The Telegraph

The state is 11th in India in sustainability but below national average in most parameters

Bengal has improved by two places its ranking among the states in terms of sustainable development but is behind the national average on the majority of parameters, including key ones like ‘climate action’ and ‘sustainable cities and communities’ (see chart).

The sustainable development goal (SDG) score is calculated on the basis of scores in 17 key areas identified by the UN in 2015. The original aim was to reach the sustainability goal in 2030 but the pandemic is likely to push back the finish line.  

In the global sustainability score, India has slipped three places, from 117 to 120, among 192 countries in 2021 despite improving its total score from 60 in 2020 to 66 in 2021.

In India, the sustainability scores of the states are calculated by the Delhi-based thinktank, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), on the basis of data provided by the government.
