Dear Colleagues
Global SDSN has launched a public consultation on an initial country-level SDG Index and Dashboard that measures SDG achievement across the 17 SDGs using data available today. Comments can be submitted online until 31 March 2016.
During the public consultation they would be particularly grateful for help and advice on how to fill some of the following major data gaps in the preliminary SDG Index and Dashboard.
For example, on SDG4, Quality of Education, the initial indicators (labels, sources) and thresholds in Tables 3 and 4 are:
Expected years of schooling 2014 UNDP (2015) >15 [Green] 12 <= value <= 15 [Yellow] <12 [Red]
Population aged 25-64 with tertiary education (%) 2011 OECD (2016) >25% [Green] 15% <= value <= 25% [Yellow] <15% [Red]
PISA score 2012 OECD (2016) >493 [Green] 400 <= value <= 493 < [Yellow] <400 [Red]
Proposed indicators for other SDGs are also included, and a global ranking and score by country and aggregation method - something that has made the news recently on the ‘happiness’ front, but not yet in terms of the weak or strong sustainability or substitution aspects, or the consumption and/or production aspects?
Find out more, and how to comment, at:
