Resumen

Covid-19 ha planteado grandes retos a nivel mundial. Uno de ellos es, sin duda, la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de la Agenda 2030.Este estudio pretende analizar, en una perspectiva temporal, los efectos de la pandemia en los niveles de desarrollo sostenible alcanzados en Europa.

Para medir el impacto de Covid-19, se construirán 3 índices de sostenibilidad (IS) diferentes referidos a 2015, 2018 y 2020. Para construir estos índices, se utilizarán 17 indicadores (uno por ODS) de la base de datos gratuita de Eurostat. Se utilizará el método AMPI (Mazziotta y Pareto, 2017) para agregar estos indicadores. Este método se basa en una transformación Min-Max y permite una comparación temporal absoluta. Además, este método permite una alta replicabilidad de los resultados. Además, se realizará una agrupación jerárquica según el método de Ward (1963) para captar las diferencias entre las distintas especificidades europeas.

Los resultados confirman los efectos negativos de Covid-19. De hecho, hay un empeoramiento general de los niveles de desarrollo sostenible entre 2015 y 2020.
