To briefly remind you of the current process for developing global indicators for SDGs, total 230 indicators were agreed as "practical starting point" at the 47th UN Statistical Commission held in March 2016. You can see the official list of global indicators on http://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/indicators-list/.

There are indicators classified as Tier 2 for the need to secure sufficient data and Tier 3 for lacking agreed methodologies. Refinement of current indicators and developing methodologies will be further discussed during the 4th Inter-Agency Expert Group (IAEG) Meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in October 2016. Some of current indicators are already being used to track progress of the implementation of the SDGs. The first SDGs Progress report in which those indicators are assessed is available on http://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2016/goal-01/ both in the form of PDF file and web-based publication.
