SDG 17 Indicators- 2017 Updates
The updated list of SDG #17 Indicators since July 2016, with changes highlighted.
In summer 2016, we created a series of Medium stories listing the targets and indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals. Since then, meetings have been held that have altered and edited the global indicators framework. Here, we highlight the changes and additions that have been made since July 2016 up to April 2017, to update our indicator stories before the High Level Political Forum takes place in July 2017.
*Goal 17 has no indicator changes; indicators 17.5.1, 17.6.1, 17.7.1, 17.13.1, 17.14.1, 17.17.1, 17.18.1, and 17.18.2 are classified as Tier 3.
