all segments of society, encompassing both public and

goals to fruition.

Global indicator framework for the SDGs
While the 17 SDGs are a global commitment by the
political leadership of 193 countries to their citizens, they
are built upon the earlier UN Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs).
A key lesson learnt from the MDGs is that a lack of
reliable data can undermine the ability of governments
to set goals, optimize investment decisions, manage
development processes and measure progress. The SDGs
seek to redress this issue.
As a result, to bring greater focus to these efforts and
provide global harmonization, the SDGs are further
segmented into 169 targets, which each country is
expected to achieve at its own pace based on its
resources and priorities. Further, to ensure there is a
common harmonized way of assessing achievement of
the targets, measurable indicators have been defined for
each target and goal. In total 232 measurable indicators
are defined.
A robust follow-up and review mechanism for the
implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development requires a solid framework of indicators and
statistical data to monitor progress, inform policymakers
and ensure the accountability of stakeholders.
A quick review of the targets and indicators shows that
many of them are (directly or indirectly) impacted by
electrical, electronic and information technologies.
IEC International Standards together with IEC CA Systems,
have contributed to all 17 SDGs for decades, long before
the goals were defined. Currently there are close to 300
keywords identified that can be linked to around 5 500 IEC
Standards and other publications.
Looking ahead, the impact of IEC work on SDGs will be
continuously tracked by IEC technical committees who will
report on activities that contribute to them.
