Achieving the SDGs: How Can We Really Measure Progress? A Conversation with Ruzanna Tarverdyan & Edward Mishaud
Today's episode delves into data. It’s all around us in our daily lives, but how important is data for multilateralism today? Especially, as we look to Agenda 2030, and measuring our progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs)?
The #NextPagePod is joined by Ruzanna Tarverdyan, Founding President of the Geneva Consensus Foundation, and author of the book, “Measuring sustainable development goals performance”, as well as Edward Mishaud, Acting Director of the SDG Lab at UN Geneva.
How can we really measure if we’re achieving the SDGs? Are countries’ ready to integrate the social, economic and environmental dimensions of development? What does the data tell us about crises, and our ability to face future challenges? And how can science impact multilateralism? We explore these questions in this episode.
