Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2020

The World Bank, through the generous support of the Partnership Fund for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG Fund), has recently published the Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2020. This is a digital Atlas that  presents interactive storytelling and data visualizations about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals across the world. 

While also highlighting trends for selected targets within each goal and introducing concepts about how some SDGs are measured. Where data is available, the Atlas also highlights the emerging impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the SDGs.

The Atlas draws from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators database, as well as from a wide variety of relevant data sources from scientists and other researchers worldwide.

We hope readers will find the World Bank’s third edition in the Atlas series engaging and informative, and will be inspired to discover, understand and visualize progress towards achieving the SDGs.
