The 2006 NSDS formulates a set of 91 indicators for sustainable development. The indicator set, which comprises 12 headline indicators, is structured around 6 thematic areas and has been developed on the basis of the work of Statistics Sweden.

Statistics Sweden (SCB) has been assigned to produce assessments on where Sweden stands and to develop a system for follow up.  Each year, they present a statistical review of Sweden’s progress towards reaching the SDGs and targets based on a list of indicators aligned with national indicators. The latest review is from 2019.
