Where do our data come from?

The SDG Indicators for municipalities can be divided into two types: Type I indicators are qualitatively well suited for mapping the respective sustainability goals, and municipal data are readily available from central sources. Type II indicators are qualitatively (very) well suited for mapping the respective sustainability goals, and municipal data are readily available from central sources.

A good availability of data means that the data are obtained by central sources (official, scientific and / or other institutions) for more than one municipalitiy - without to much (manual) effort, on a regular basis (at least every six years).

On the SDG portal, only Type I indicators are made available. For further information, please see here: SDG Indicator brochure .
