Description
The experts from the UN Secretary-General’s Global Pulse initiative, and his High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability, have assembled a unique data set to drive your thinking. Pulled from a variety of sources, the data presents development along the three pillars of sustainability: the economic, the social, and the environmental. You will find various individual signposts of a country’s progress, from access to clean water to primary school completion to forestation.
In almost all cases, the data are broken out by country, and by time period. The latter are almost always annual, though in some cases they are less frequent. Please see the attached Indicator Descriptions document for detailed information about each indicator.

Well, it was really interesting to learn how different wings of UN works and what all are their working agendas. The planning they make is actually a perfect one and if implemented properly, it would be a great success.
