Special Topic Session
Room: Hegelsaal II
Chair:
Jennifer Park
Organiser/s:
Maurizio Vichi
The establishment of indicators for the SDGs and related targets is fully under way. This concerns the setting of indicators at a global level - in the context of the ‘Transforming our world: 2030 agenda' - and also the establishment of EU SDG indicators, a first set of which was agreed last year by the European Statistical System (ESS) and released in November 2017. The objective of this session is to provide a short overview of the work accomplished but especially to present and discuss the latest ideas in the establishment of SDG indicators created by new technologies and applications. This session would explore how statistical organisations are fostering strategic partnerships with various types of stakeholders to develop new types of statistics and enhance the usefulness of existing ones. It could be general, or it could have a specific focus on statistics for SDGs
