Organization of the CES Steering Group on SDGs
The 2015 plenary session of the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) decided to launch work on a Road Map for the development of official statistics for monitoring SDGs. To prepare the Road Map and monitor its implementation, the CES Bureau set up a Steering Group on Statistics for SDGs in October 2015.
Road Map on Statistics for Sustainable Development Goals
The Road Map supports the implementation of the Declaration on the role of national statistical offices in measuring and monitoring SDGs, adopted by the CES in June 2015. Its second edition was adopted by the CES in 2021.
The Steering Group
The Steering Group is currently co-chaired by Poland and Sweden. UNECE acts as a secretariat of the Steering Group. The terms of reference and membership can be found here.
Task Teams
Task Teams are organized as needed to address in-depth topics identified by the Steering Group, according to its terms of reference. Statement of purpose, membership, and work programs can be found on the respective sites below.
Steering Group and Task Group members collaborate on developing work products using the UNECE private wiki. For questions or additional information, please contact jonathan.gessendorfer@un.org.
