The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) launched SDGs Today in July 2020 with support from Esri and the National Geographic Society. SDGs Today aims to advance the production and use of real-time and timely geospatial data for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program encourages countries, institutions, and civil society members to produce, share and engage with new data sources to help ensure that we meet the Global Goals by 2030.

SDGs Today provides a snapshot of the state of sustainable development around the world. The team curates and produces accessible data products packaged in interactive formats that are accessible to a wide range of users and SDG stakeholders, and works with partners to share use cases and innovative projects through storytelling, to put a human face on quantitative data. SDGs Today also supports capacity development efforts and produces educational materials and programs that help integrate a data-driven approach into sustainability-related projects and research.

The data featured in SDGs Today are not the official datasets for SDG monitoring. Additionally, the maps do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of SDGs Today and partners concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or of their authorities.
