Unprecedented' UN global data gathering to add huge amounts of information for governments to collect.

Six months after giving birth to a cluster of nebulous Sustainable Development Goals that aim to dramatically change the economic, social and environmental course of the planet, the United Nations is working on a drastic renovation of global data gathering to measure progress against its sweeping international agenda.

The result that emerged late last week from the U.N. Statistical Commission -- an obscure body of national experts that calls itself the “apex entity of the international statistics system” -- is a document as sprawling, undefined and ambitious as the sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, themselves -- which  lay out 17 goals and 169 sometimes overlapping targets to transform global society.

In attempting to cover at least some of that ground, the so-called “draft global indicators framework” likely will add huge new volumes of information that governments collect as they measure progress toward what amounts to a global socialist or progressive agenda. 

To the extent that the indicators are adopted or incorporated by national governments, such as that of the U.S., they will also provide a powerful reorientation of public debate as they filter into academic and policy discussions.


   The “extent to which global citizenship education and education for sustainable development . . . are mainstreamed at all levels in national education politics, curricula, teacher education and student assessment”

■   The “number of countries that have implemented well-managed migration policies”

■   The “average income of small-scale food producers, by sex and indigenous status”

■   The “proportion of persons victim of physical or sexual harassment, by sex, age, disability status and place of occurrence, in the previous 12 months”

■   The “mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning”

■   The “proportion of national Exclusive Economic Zones [200-mile ocean limits] managed using ecosystem-based approaches”

■   The “number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium or long-term conservation facilities”

■   “Progress by countries in the degree of implementation of international instruments aiming to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing”


According to the U.N. General Assembly resolution that called for their creation, the new SDG indicators are supposed to be “simple but robust.” Among the relatively novel measurements the draft framework proposes to develop:
