399 word summary
Finland's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) performance is ranked among OECD countries. The country has achieved or is on track to achieve several SDGs, particularly in the areas of good health and well-being, quality education, and gender equality. However, there are still significant challenges in reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable cities and communities.
In terms of poverty eradication (SDG 1), Finland has made progress with low poverty headcount ratios at $2.15/day and $3.65/day. The poverty rate after taxes and transfers is also relatively low at 5.7%.
Finland has also made strides in ensuring good health and well-being (SDG 3). The country has a low maternal mortality rate, neonatal mortality rate, and under-5 mortality rate. Life expectancy at birth is high, and there is a high coverage of skilled health personnel during births. However, there are still challenges in reducing the incidence of tuberculosis and HIV infections.
In the area of quality education (SDG 4), Finland performs well with high participation rates in pre-primary organized learning and net primary enrollment. The country also has a high literacy rate and tertiary educational attainment. However, there is room for improvement in reducing the variation in science performance explained by socio-economic status.
Finland has made significant progress in promoting gender equality (SDG 5). The country has a high demand for family planning satisfied by modern methods and a relatively low gender wage gap. However, there is still work to be done in increasing female-to-male mean years of education received and female-to-male labor force participation rates.
In terms of sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), Finland has a low proportion of urban population living in slums and high satisfaction with public transport. The country also has a high proportion of the population with access to points of interest within a 15-minute walk. However, there is still room for improvement in reducing the annual mean concentration of particulate matter and the population with rent overburden.
Finland also performs well in responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). The country has low electronic waste, non-recycled municipal solid waste, and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production. However, there are challenges in reducing the production-based emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen.
Overall, Finland's performance in implementing the SDGs is commendable, with achievements in several areas. However, there are still significant challenges that need to be addressed, particularly in reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable cities and communities.
