The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint to
achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Population and social
statistics are important tools for measuring the wide scope of social
dimensions of the SDGs. To address the global challenges we face, including
those related to poverty, inequality, and social injustices, UNSIAP
provides eLearning courses in poverty, health, gender equality
(2021) and crime statistics (2021) in collaboration with partners.
