Abstract
How is the UN capable of achieving its goals in the field of human security till 2030? The reports on the fulfilment of the sustainable development goals show that the significance of the SDGs can be interpreted differently in every region. The answer is in the Concept of Social Progress Index. In order to increase human well-being, the SPI focuses more on the social efforts of the national governments rather than economic prosperity. Therefore, human security does not depend on the growth of the countries’ GDP, but on the laws that governments put in place for the development of society, such as access to modern health care and education.
