Introduction

Global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals and targets of
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
17 SDGs can be classified under three main categories as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 17 SDGs

1
Tier Classification Criteria/Definitions:
Tier 1
Indicator is conceptually clear, has an internationally established methodology and
standards are available, and data are regularly produced by countries for at least
50 per cent of countries and of the population in every region where the indicator
is relevant.
Tier 2
Indicator is conceptually clear, has an internationally established methodology and
standards are available, but data are not regularly produced by countries.
Tier 3
No internationally established methodology or standards are yet available for the
indicator, but methodology/standards are being (or will be) developed or tested.
(As of the 51st session of the United Nations Statistical Commission, the global
indicator framework does not contain any Tier III indicators)

For the 17 SDGs - Goals, Targets and Measures of achieving, Indicators are given in
Table 1

 Table 1 Global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals and targets
of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development Goal indicators should be disaggregated, where relevant, by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographic
location, or other characteristics, in accordance with the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics.1

 The global indicator framework for Sustainable Development Goals was
developed by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) and
agreed upon at the 48th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission held in
March 2017. The global indicator framework was later adopted by the General Assembly
on 6 July 2017 and is contained in the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on
Work of the Statistical Commission pertaining to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development
The 17 SDG has 169 targets. The global indicator framework of SDG indicators is
248. If we are looking at unique indicators there are 231. Since 13 indicators are found to
get repeated under different targets. Indicators in the global indicator framework that
repeat are the following:
i. 7.b.1/12.a.1
ii. 8.4.1/12.2.1
iii. 8.4.2/12.2.2
iv. 10.3.1/16.b.1
