Sustainable Development Implementation In Poland And In Other Member States Of The European Union

Abstract

In this paper, with the use of selected headline indicators, an attempt was made to analyse the performance of sustainable development in Poland and in other EU Member States. An analysis and assessment of headline sustainable development indicators for EU-28 in the years 2004-2015 was made and Eurostat served as a source of required data. During this period, Poland has been obliged to meet a number of the Union criteria and received financial support from the EU budget. A ranking of countries has been proposed, reflecting their progress in the implementation of sustainable development, depicting the place occupied by Poland.
