When the SDG monitoring framework was first established in 2016, only one third of indicators had good data coverage, and 39 per cent lacked internationally agreed methodologies. Today, almost 70 per cent have good coverage, and all 234 indicators now have well-established methodologies. SDG data availability shows encouraging overall progress between 2019 and 2025 but with persistent gaps in key areas. Goal 3 (Good health and well-being), Goal 6 (Clean water and sanitation), Goal 7 (Affordable [...] highlights five SDG indicators that have the greatest dependence on DHS data. Since 2015, 70 per cent of the data points on contraceptive use (SDG indicator 5.6.1) and experiences of sexual violence (SDG 16.2.3) have come from the DHS. It has also provided over 50 per cent of the data points on female genital mutilation (SDG 5.3.2), the urban population living in slums (SDG 11.1.1) and the population living in households with basic services (SDG 1.4.1). The impact is particularly severe for [...] State of the Global Climate 2024 report, which combines six international data sets for temperature: HadCRUT.5.0.1.0 (UK Met Office), NOAAGlobalTemp v5 (USA), NASA GISTEMP v4 (USA), Berkeley Earth (USA), ERA5 (ECMWF) and JRA-55 (Japan).

UK data for the Sustainable Development Goals are collated and reported here.

Next is the Quality Matrix scoring stage. This has six criteria: relevance, methods, coverage, timeliness and ongoing availability, data journey awareness, and quality assurance. Each of these is scored between 0 (not acceptable) to 3 (the highest score). A source with an average score above 1.5 and no 0 scores – cross-checked by a second assessor – is deemed suitable for use in SDG reporting. Sources will also be reassessed when they are updated, which is usually done once a year. [...] ## How are the SDGs reported?
The ONS SDGs team leads on reporting the United Kingdom’s (UK) progress through SDG Data, the National Reporting Platform. [...] The SDG data team at ONS has designed and published a standardised assessment protocol to help assess the quality of non-official sources. This tool informs decisions on the SDG suitability of the non-official source. It seeks to strike a balance between harnessing benefits while managing the risks and ensuring sufficient trustworthiness, quality, and value. Doing so while considering the UN’s requirements for the indicator. This protocol builds on great work done previously by Statistics

Yet, this exercise of collecting, monitoring and reporting SDG data is a titanic effort, which extends beyond just the statistical bodies in every country. It requires a collaborative partnership among governments, international organizations, data producers and users. [...] The journey to making data accessible and usable for the SDGs has been a significant one. In 2016, when the global indicator framework was first established, reliable data was available for only about a third of the indicators, and many lacked established methods for collection. Today, the number of indicators with good data coverage (meaning data is available for more than 50 per cent of countries) has nearly doubled to 68 per cent. Furthermore, since 2020, all 231 indicators now have [...] Through fruitful partnerships with various government stakeholders, the UNCT in Serbia facilitated the mapping of SDG data sources and the implementation of data sharing protocols that the Statistical Office relies on, to share information with line ministries. Further, government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Institute for Public Health are now more incentivized to share data with the Statistical Office.

The Sustainable Development Goals are underpinned by 169 targets which address a wide range of issues facing both developed and developing countries. These interconnected issues include poverty, inequality, climate change, inclusive societies and access to health and education. A central commitment of the Goals is to Leave No One Behind, ensuring that development progress reaches the most vulnerable and marginalised populations. [...] The SDGs apply to all countries, with all sectors playing a role in supporting their delivery. The UK is responsible for achieving the Goals domestically and for supporting their attainment internationally.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by 193 UN member states at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in 2015. It provides an ambitious, globally-agreed, shared blueprint for the world we want to see by 2030 and is centred around the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (also known as the Global Goals or SDGs).

Next slide please. After that pre-assessment step, uh we then have step one. And this step one is slightly different uh depending on whether the data series have 2030 target values or if they do not. For those data series with uh specific uh 2030 target values, we calculate the compound annual growth rate between the baseline of 2025 and the latest year. for example 2024.

By the time you get to the end of that, sorry, just just going back. By the time you get to the end of that, there are about 3,000 statistical variables available in our database. So, we have to decide which of those data to include and we use the three uh selection criteria that uh is shown to the left of the slide. First, we only include data series that best represent the reference
