The Secretary-General’s Independent Expert Advisory Group on a Data Revolution for Sustainable Development (IEAG) has completed a report on mobilizing the data revolution for sustainable development. The group consists of over 20 international experts, asked by the UN Secretary General to propose ways to improve data for achieving and monitoring sustainable development. The report highlights two big global challenges for the current state of data: the challenge of invisibility, for instance gaps in what we know and when we know it: and the challenge of inequality, including the gaps between those who know and those who do not know what they need to know make their own decisions. The IEAG report makes specific recommendations on how to address these challenges, calling for a UN-led effort to mobilise the data revolution for sustainable development.
