Work on developing the UK’s 2019 Voluntary National Review is ongoing. We will be drawing on a range of sources, including:

  • the UN’s global indicator framework for measuring progress towards the SDGs;
  • the UK’s Office for National Statistics’ National Reporting Platform on UK data for the SDGs;
  • Single Departmental Plans in which government departments have embedded the SDGs; and
  • departmental Annual Reports and Accounts in which departments are expected to report progress towards the SDGs.

We will continue to consult with a range of key stakeholders as we finalise our plans, including launching an online consultation to ensure we capture a wide range of views and inputs.
