SDGgoals

SDGgoals is a web-based information resource that aggregates and presents data, analysis, and references related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The platform aims to support education, research, policy making, and advocacy by providing authoritative descriptions of the 17 goals, their targets and indicators, along with related data, case studies, and policy notes.

Content on SDGgoals includes official goal descriptions, links to United Nations documents and partner materials, data visualizations, downloadable datasets, and analyst commentaries. The site seeks to connect quantitative indicators with qualitative context, enabling users to explore progress by region, sector, or theme and to compare different time periods.

Accessibility and data practices are central to the project. SDGgoals emphasizes open data where possible, offering content under open licenses and providing tools for exporting data in common formats. The platform supports multilingual access and provides search and filtering capabilities to help users locate material by goal, topic, or geography.

Development and governance are described as a collaborative effort. The project is led by a coalition of universities, research institutes, and civil society organizations, with an editorial board and a technical management team overseeing content quality. Community contributions are typically subject to review processes to maintain accuracy and neutrality.

Impact and reception have positioned SDGgoals as a useful resource for educators, researchers, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies. Critics note challenges such as ensuring timely updates, data gaps in certain regions, and the need for ongoing verification of third-party sources.
