Short overview of the 2020 Comprehensive Review that is in progress (which will imply changes to Open SDG):
- July: There were initially over 200 proposals submitted for consideration (mostly from international organizations, but some from countries as well)
- August: Countries were invited to comment on the “streamlined” list, which can potentially impact 15 of the 17 Goals (excludes SDG6 & SDG9). If all proposals are accepted, the number of indicators will increase by (net) 23, from 244 to 267.
- Late October: Comments and proposals will be reviewed at the IAEG meetings. Decisions will be written up in a report for UNSC in March.
