Sustainable development goals: analysis by mathematics of uncertainty (Q782369)

The book is the 299th volume of the series ``Studies in Systems, Decision and Control''. The book is dedicated to climate activists, and to the victims of climate change, poverty and trafficking. The authors appreciate that the most important threat facing the world today (climate change) has a negative influence on the horrible crimes of human trafficking and modern slavery, and are good candidates for the use of mathematics of uncertainty due to the accurate data available. The starting point of the approach is SDGs (sustainable development goals) adopted in 2015 by all members of the United Nations. For this reason, the authors are using numbers to measure the achievements of countries in SDGs directions. It was calculated a SDG index score for each country using three different methods: analytical hierarchy process (AHP), the Guiasu (Romanian scientist) method and Yen method. In Chapter 3 was presented a method for measuring a country's success in achieving the sustainable development goals that are pertinent to human trafficking. In Chapter 4 was presented a ranking of countries with respect to their achievement of the SDGs and in Chapter 5 was measured a country's success in achieving the sustainable development goals that are pertinent to human trafficking. In Chapter 6 was applied a similarity measure to the ranking methods in the previous chapters and it was established the similarity between the AHP-Guiasu-Yen method, the stakeholder method and the sustainable development method. In Chapter 7 the climate change and their sub factors are analyzed in the context presented in Chapter 2 of mathematics and uncertainty. The modern slavery is examined in terms of certain SDGs. In Chapter 8 are analyzed the deficiencies of the foster care system that lead to human trafficking. In my opinion the presentation of the elementary, empirical data should be more useful than the mention of the references for them.
