本文对东南亚国家的可持续发展指标进行了比较分析。一套指标被用来指定东南亚国家的可持续发展水平的基础上的二手数据。对主要指标进行了比较分析，以确定各国可持续发展的现状。研究结果表明，根据人类发展指数（HDI），新加坡和文莱属于极高人类发展水平国家，马来西亚属于高人类发展水平国家，泰国、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、菲律宾和越南属于中等人类发展水平国家，缅甸属于低人类发展水平国家。缅甸（32.7%）、菲律宾（25.2%）和老挝人民民主共和国（23.2%）的贫困程度较高。此外，大多数国家在教育和卫生方面的公共支出都很低。此外，文莱、马来西亚和新加坡是人均二氧化碳排放的主要国家，而印度尼西亚是东盟国家中城市污染最严重的国家。因此，大多数东南亚国家在可持续发展方面落后，其中贫困，收入不平等，生态足迹，城市污染，国家间环境问题等关键问题需要妥善解决以实现可持续发展。
