【 摘 要 】

When reconciling balance between economic development and ecosystem health, a sustainable future is imperative but hard to distinguish. We focus on setting up an index assessment system for evaluating sustainable development. Using the data from 1995 to 2016, we utilize the AHP serving for data selection. Besides, the Gray Relational Analysis and the Entropy Method are employed to identify the index value. Two methods' calculation results lead to different weighting structures so the combination is adopted. We draw on six sample countries to inspect the impact of national behavior on sustainability. The result shows that the countries that are sustainable are the minority. The index of a country varies from year to year.
