Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar la situación reciente sobre sostenibilidad en países de todo el mundo según el Sustainable Society Index. Se usó la estrategia multivariante del Análisis Parcial Triádico (una generalización del Análisis de Componentes Principales para datos tridimensionales) para analizar las relaciones entre los países e indicadores a lo largo del periodo 2006-2016. Los resultados obtenidos destacan que los indicadores sociales y económicos, como Deuda Pública, están relacionados con países que tienen ingresos más altos, es decir, los países con mayores ingresos prestan más atención a la sostenibilidad social y económica, mientras que los países con ingresos más bajos están más conectados con temas medioambientales. También, con este procedimiento, se puede destacar la posible evolución de los países o indicadores durante el periodo, es decir, podemos ver cómo se comportó cada país respecto a la sostenibilidad a lo largo del tiempo.
