The global goals layer
Each Sustainable Development Goal gets one flagship topic on DataSpeaks: a question that can actually be answered from published data, the official source that answers it, and the year that data refers to. Goals are the backbone of this catalogue, not a tag applied afterwards.
Official UN goal colours. A dot marks a goal whose dashboard is already published.
