انعكاسات واردات السلع البيئية في الدول العربية على مؤشرات أهداف التنمية المستدامة (آفاق 2030)‎

الملخص EN

The present research discusses the relationship that may exist between sustainable development goals'(SDGs) indexes and environmental goods' (EG) imports.

The paper will examine the Arab countries situation towards those two variables, aiming at confirming, in a descriptive method, weather they succeeded in exploiting some of their environmentally friendly goods imports to increase the score of the related SDGs.

To do so, we used the 1996 HS code-6 to get statistics about imports from UN-comtrade database for the time series 1990-2015, and statistics of SDGs indexes were collected from the World bank database.

The research concluded that the Arab countries failed to use their EGs' imports to serve related SDGs despite of the success reached in improving other development goals
