The , adopted by the General Assembly in September 2015, provides an ambitious set of goals whose achievement will set humanity on a path towards sustainability. Progress made toward achieving the Agenda’s 17  and 169 targets will need to be monitored closely to provide timely guidance for effective action. The data requirements partially overlap with, and in some cases go beyond, those needed to monitor the  of the International Conference on Population and Development.

The  for the SDGs and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted by the General Assembly in July 2017, includes 231 unique indicators.
