From: A network approach to rank countries chasing sustainable development
The bipartite network of countries and Goals. Qualitative representation of the bipartite network constituted by countries and Goals. On the left, we list seven of the countries that can be found by browsing the 2020 Dashboard, sorted in alphabetical order26 (the first and last two countries and the ones found at first, second and third quarter of the list). On the right, the 17 SDGs are reported. For each country, we connect the SDGs via the performance values \(P_{cg}\) in each Goal, according to the 2020 Dashboard data26. The values \(P_{cg}\) are intended to be readable as a percentage of achievement of the Goals. We have classed these values in ranges of \(10\%\) of performances and colour-coded, in greyscale, accordingly: the darker the links, the better the performances of the country within the Goals. Countries’ performances smaller than \(50\%\) have been left blank. The figure has been generated using Matlab R2019b, [https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html], and PowerPoint 2016.
