SDGs
UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Statistics Division worked with Esri to create sdg.org , an Open SDG Data Hub. The hub promotes the exploration, analysis, and use of authoritative SDG data sources for evidence-based decision-making and advocacy. Its goal is to enable data providers, managers and users to discover, understand, and communicate patterns and interrelationships in the wealth of SDG data and statistics that are now available.
Many countries and regions have created their own open data hubs to highlight their progress towards the SDGs and to serve as platforms for collaboration and data sharing on specific initiatives. The following are links to exemplary SDG hubs.
This country level data is compiled in the SDG Country Profile tool, allowing the UN Secretariat to easily track progress toward each of the goals:
