Tracking the progress of the region towards the SDGs
The SDG Task Force identified creation of a dashboard of indicators defining the progress of the region towards the SDGs as a priority project.
A consortium of 18 funding partners engaged the University of Newcastle to identify SDG targets, indicators and data sources that measure the sustainability of the region. More than 120 stakeholders were engaged to arrive at 124 different sets which culminates in metrics for 54 separate indicators.
It is anticipated that the process will be repeated every two years until 2030.
These indicators have now been collated into this public dashboard.
It is hoped that this dashboard will provide guidance for policy/decision makers and other stakeholders to focus efforts and accelerate actions to achieve the SDGs.
