Measuring distance to the SDG targets – Lithuania

Based on 118 available indicators allowing a coverage of 94 of the 169 SDG targets, Lithuania has currently achieved 16 of the 2030 targets, and many of the remaining distances to targets are small (). For example, Lithuania has a very low water stress (target 6.4), low CO2 intensity (target 9.4) and a high GDP growth rate (target 8.1). However, some challenges remain Lithuania is still very far (i.e. more than 3 standardised distances away) from meeting some 8% of the targets. For instance, Lithuania has a high incidence of tuberculosis (target 3.3), a high rate of premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (target 3.4) and a significant share of dwellings without access to basic sanitation (target  11.1).
