SDG Cities Global Conference Session 2: Global Urban Monitoring Framework and its local application

The Global Urban Monitoring Framework (UMF), developed through a collaboration of UN entities, governments and diverse partners responds to UN Statistical Commission’s request to UN-Habitat to harmonise existing urban indexes and tools. It provides a universal framework to efficiently and effectively track the progress of cities in their efforts to achieve the SDGs, as well deliver on the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement. Through its adoption by both cities and the UN System, it aims to strengthen the engagement of UN country operations at local levels. Building on the UMF, the city of Shanghai is developing a “Shanghai Adapted Index,” to measure the city’s performance and will avail the index globally. The session shares experiences of cities in generating action-oriented data and introduces the UMF and Shanghai Adapted Index.
