The Road Map of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, which inlcudes countries of the northern hemisphere, lays out the activities associated with producing statistics concerning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the years leading up to 2030. It highlights what needs to be done, who is to do what and when, who are the stakeholders, and what are the opportunities for cooperation. The Road Map provides guidance to national statistical offices on establishing national mechanisms for collaboration, assessing data gaps, developing national indicators, providing data on global SDG indicators, capacity building and communication. The Road Map intends to provide guidance, is a living document and will be updated whenever the need arises.
