Abstract
In 2015 the United Nations General Assembly set an ambitious vision of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to tackle human rights, sustainable development and climate change. Data is essential for monitoring the progress of member states towards these goals. The utilisation of linked government data not only has the ability to monitor the SDGs but also to support their progress. This article outlines how linked government data has been utilised and can facilitate implementation of data informed strategies and interventions, and shared responsibility for implementation of solutions to enable more effective progress towards the SDGs.
