SDGs Indicators

SDGs Indicator

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The SDGs aim to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. To monitor the implementation and progress of the SDGs, a global indicator framework was developed by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) and agreed upon by the United Nations Statistical Commission. The global indicator framework consists of 231 unique indicators that cover various aspects of the 17 goals and their 169 targets¹³. The indicators are intended to provide a common and comparable way of measuring and reporting on the SDGs at the global, regional and national levels.

The following table summarizes the indicators for each SDG, based on the official list published by the United Nations. Some indicators may repeat under different targets or goals, as indicated by the same number in parentheses.
