The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global goals designed to be a “blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.” The goals to be achieved by 2030 are an urgent call for action by all countries—and by each of us.
In the first part of the course, we highlight the SDGs and analyze the SDG indicators that track the current global status. Did you know that there are 17 goals backed up and monitored by over 230 indicators? Each indicator measures the progress of all countries, sometimes over decades—a lot of data points to analyze. The lecture balances basic principles with crisp data science practice, covering Python-based analysis, visualization techniques, and cross-analysis of indicators to give you both context and hands-on skills.
