The OECD localised framework normalises the SDG indicators from 0 to 100 – where 100 is the suggested end value of an indicator to be achieved by 2030 – and aggregates headline indicators that belong to the same goal to provide an index score towards each of the 17 SDGs. The distance to each SDG is defined as the number of units the index needs to travel to reach the maximum score of 100. See Chapter 2 of the Territorial Approach to the SDGs report for more details about the methodology.

SDG indexes are useful for communication and visualisation, but they are only an entry point to further analyse the whole set of indicators underlying each goal. This tool provides more than 100 indicators relevant for SDGs available at the scale of regions or cities. Click here to download the data.
