Statistical capacity building

UNEP has a number of existing projects aimed to build statistical capacity on the SDG indicators and broader environment statistics in countries. This includes collecting and using data for better decision making. These projects are referenced across the SDG themes and are listed here. These projects are not conducted in isolation, but through partnership. Currently, UNEP is working on an online training which will cover all the indicators under UNEP custodianship.

On particular topics, UNEP partners with organizations that have highly technical expertise in these areas. These types of partnerships are mentioned in the specifics of each project.

Additionally, UNEP is interested in raising money to continue building statistical capacity, including for building the capacity to integrate the environment SDGs in Common Country Analysis and Voluntary national reviews, SDG training, measuring gender and environment, waste statistics, policy coherence and other topics.
