A data revolution is required in order to meet the 2030 Agenda set out by the United Nations in 2015. As we head into the Decade of Action, we are seeing cities struggle with data collection, many people remaining invisible to data collectors, and increasingly, questions about who uses the data to what end. What can we learn from our current experience with Covid-19 data? What steps can we take to ensure an informed view of our SDG priorities?

----------

Une révolution des données est nécessaire pour répondre au Programme 2030 défini par les Nations Unies en 2015. Alors que nous nous dirigeons vers la Décennie d'action, nous voyons les villes lutter pour la collecte de données, de nombreuses personnes restent invisibles pour les collecteurs de données, et de plus en plus, des questions sur qui utilise les données à quelle fin. Que pouvons-nous apprendre de notre expérience actuelle avec les données Covid-19? Quelles mesures pouvons-nous prendre pour garantir une vision éclairée de nos priorités en matière d'ODD?
