Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis was to determine what the World Economic Forum is, what its purpose, mission, participants, and main goals are. And also to analyze the economic performance of a country that participates in the WEF activities and shares its goals. Since at present time the main goals of the Forum are the goals of sustainable development established by the United Nations, it was interesting to analyze the economic performance of a country that recognizes the importance of the SDGs. The Czech Republic was chosen as such a country. The theoretical part gathered detailed information about the WEF and the SDGs. The practical part focused on the analysis of indicators. Economic, environmental and social indicators were selected and analyzed using methods such as descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The analysis assessed whether the Czech Republic is making progress toward each of the goals, and how well this progress meets the requirements set by the WEF and the UN. The goals whose indicators have a negative trend or have not changed at all were singled out, as well as It has been revealed how changes in macroeconomic indicators are linked to changes in social and environmental indicators.
