REGIONS2030-European regional SDG indicators

Abstract

This report presents and discusses the methodological approach for the development of a regional monitoring indicator set for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the framework of the REGIONS2030 project. The report presents the methodology and the criteria for the selection. The report also includes the list of indicators that will be the starting point of SDG monitoring for piloting regions of the project. The indicator set is a result of an iterative process that in brief included the identification of sources of indicators (with respective information on their methodology of calculation and other related metadata), the filtering, merging and selection of indicators that were fit for the REGIONS2030 project and the EU regional dimension, and the respective filling in of all related information regarding among others their availability in European countries, coverage, timeliness, alignment with other monitoring frameworks.
