Data-Driven Insights and Analytics for Measurable Sustainable Development Goals

Data-Driven Insights and Analytics for Measurable Sustainable Development Goals discusses the growing imperative to understand, measure, and guide actions using data-driven insights. The SDGs encompass a broad spectrum of global challenges, from eradicating poverty and hunger to preserving the environment and fostering peace. To address these issues, one should be able to measure and analyze progress. This book bridges the gap between qualitative and quantitative assessments, recognizing that goals are not solely about numbers but also encompass complex social, environmental, and economic dynamics. By merging data science with qualitative analysis, readers can explore how SDGs intersect and influence each other.

The book provides readers with an understanding of how to effectively leverage data science models and algorithms using descriptive analytics, allowing us to assess the current state of SDG performance and offering valuable insights into where we stand on these critical goals. Prescriptive analytics guides actions by offering actionable recommendations, while predictive analytics anticipates future trends and challenges, helping us navigate our path toward the SDGs effectively.
