The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are also reasonably called the Global Goals. They were adopted by the UN in 2015 and formed an international agenda to improve the quality of life for future generations. This ambitious goal requires a coordinated partnership between all countries.
For such a partnership is crucial to ensure the access to national indicators and data to representatives of other countries. The Open SDG platform, created by the UK Office for National Statistics in collaboration with the Center for Open Data Enterprise and members of the Open SDG community, provides a convenient way to work with this data. Ukraine has recently joined the platform, which already unites dozens of countries. Such global instruments are an important aspect of the implementation of Goal 17 «Partnership for Sustainable Development».
At the open event on December 20, we, with international experts, will discuss the role and functions of the Open SDG platform in ensuring partnership and monitoring the progress of countries according to the Sustainable Development Goals. Among participants of the event are Anatolii Kutsevol, Deputy State Secretary of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Ihor Verner, Chair of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Osnat Lubrani, UN Resident & Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Tetyana Tyshchuk, UNDP consultant, representatives of the UK Office for National Statistics and UNECE.
Ukrainian-English interpretation will be provided during the event.
