The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) works under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General to mobilize the world’s universities, think tanks, and national laboratories for action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement; empower societies through free online education; and translate scientific evidence and ideas into solutions and accountability.
Priorities as a partner of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data
Quality, inclusive, and timely data are the foundation of good policy and decision-making and are critical to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. The SDSN’s data programs, led by the SDG Transformation Center, provide essential research and insights on key topics including SDG financing, SDG policy tracking, SDG monitoring, new data innovations and technologies, and international spillover effects.
SDSN previously had the program Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (TReNDS) which published its final report in October 2024 and concluded its work in December 2024. The Global Partnership worked closed with SDSN TReNDS during the 10 years it was active and continues those relationships with SDSN.
