developing indicators for the agenda. A few of the targets are less ambitious than already
agreed and some better placed where commitments to policy change can be ensured.
137. What is needed now is a technical review to ensure that each is framed in
language that is specific, measurable, achievable, and consistent with existing United
Nations standards and agreements, while preserving the important political balance that
they represent. To these ends, the technical experts of the United Nations System are
available to review the targets, including on the means of implementation, and to
compare and align the level of ambition represented by each to that of existing
international targets, commitments, standards, and agreements thus strengthening
the overall framework of the goals. This will also contribute to coherence in the
discussion on financing for development.
138. In addition, where a proposed target is stated in measurable terms, but no
quantitative target has been specified, Member States may wish to seek the input of the
United Nations System, in consultation with its partners in academia and the
scientific community, on evidence for attaching specific global target levels.
139. A set of applicable indicators will also need to be identified to allow us to
collect, compare, and analyse reliable data, to do so at the adequate level of
disaggregation, as of 2016. For this purpose, Member States may decide to task the
United Nations System, in consultation with other relevant experts and through a
multi-stakeholder dialogue, to develop a draft set of indicators.
5.2. Lighting the way: the role of data in the new agenda
140. We seek an evidence-based course for realizing sustainable development. For
this, we must face the complex challenges this presents, and as a response to the varying
country realities and capabilities.
141. As indicated by my Independent Expert Advisory Group on the Data Revolution
for Sustainable Development, the world must acquire a new ‘data literacy’ in order to be
equipped with the tools, methodologies, capacities, and information necessary to shine a
light on the challenges of responding to the new agenda. Enhanced national and
international statistical capacities, rigorous indicators, reliable and timely data sets, new
