Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development is a complex phenomenon, therefore comparing the level and assessing the progress of Polish regions in implementing its assumptions is particularly difficult. In the article, the authors made an attempt to determine a synthetic measure using the Hellwig development model method, goals 3, 8 and 13 of sustainable development. These objectives illustrate three components: economic, social and environmental. The research period was 2015-2021. Results of the conducted research show the gradual progress in the implementation of selected sustainable development goals in the regions of Poland, although they differ not only in terms of the level of implementation of the selected sustainable development goals, but also in the nature of the relationship between them. As far as the implementation of objectives 3 and 8 is concerned, regions in western, southern and central Poland dominate (mainly the Mazowieckie voivodship), while the highest indicators in the area of objective 13 are in the eastern and northern voivodships. When analysing the results of the degree of sustainable development in terms of all three components of sustainable development (social, economic and environmental) in the years under study, it is noted that no such phenomenon occurs.
