Dashboard tracking regional progress on #SDGs launched by UNECE

The Sustainable Development Goalsā€™ globally-agreed framework of 232 indicators allows everyoneā€”governments, researchers, civil society, business and beyondā€”to keep track of how our countries are progressing towards environmental, social and economic sustainability.

A newĀ UNECE Dashboard for SDGs, launched ahead of the Regional Forum on Sustainable Development for the UNECE Region, brings together available data for its 56 member countries, providing for the first time a regional perspective on the global indicators.

With data for 80 regionally-relevant indicators across all 17 goals, users can see snapshots of where countries stand for each indicator, view differences between women and men; create graphs and maps; compare countries; access definitions and explanations; and download full datasets for more in-depth analysis.

UNECE Executive Secretary Olga Algayerova emphasized that ā€œCountries from across the UNECE region have made clear the need to enhance monitoring of 2030 Agenda progress ā€“ a crucial foundation for the transformative policies needed for the Decade of Action to deliver the SDGs. UNECEā€™s Dashboard for SDGs offers a tool to support these efforts. But the availability of data remains a significant challenge. UNECE will continue to advance statistical cooperation in the region, mobilizing expertise and building countriesā€™ capacities to help address key gapsā€.
