Co-development of the “Shimokawa SDGs Indicators”, with Hosei University and Shimokawa Town
IGES, Hosei University, and the town of Shimokawa will co-develop the “Shimokawa SDGs Indicators” to measure the degree to which local governments’ visions and plans that incorporate the SDGs are being achieved. Since the current indicators were established globally to evaluate national progress, the necessity of localising indicators has been increasing worldwide. The “Shimokawa SDGs Indicators” will gather specific local data to develop useful indicators. This type of progressive, bottom-up development has the potential to be deployed in other local governments.
