SDG16 Data Initiative: Better data for ensuring no one is left behind
Channel: International IDEA
Date: 12/07/2023

In September 2015, leaders of the world called for a ‘new chapter’ in global development to be achieved by 2030 through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ranging from ending poverty to taking urgent action to promote climate change. Today, we have reached the halfway point and many challenges remain, so no one is left behind. One key condition for achieving all SDGs consists in the promotion of “peace, justice and strong institutions” (Sustainable Development Goal 16).  

In this event, the SDG16 Data Initiative will provide an outlook on the situation on SDG16 and compare the outlook based on current official indicators with non-official data. Participants will also provide recommendations for improving data coverage, using complementary data sources, having better indicators and of course, for meeting SDG16.
