On Data And Design Meetup #17
Online, February 17th, 2021
Data visualization is a helpful simplification of the very complex reality, that is behind a set of numbers.
Stefan Schweinfest (USA), Director of the UN Statistics Division will talk about the importance of the SDGs as a worldwide agenda, the current challenges and how data visualization have an impact on worldwide communication.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted in September 2015 and runs until 2030. Data and statistics are a key element in measuring the development as well as in supporting the implementation of its 17 goals. Data visualization is a in the heart of communication of those data. Our next On Data And Design session will present different aspects of the SDGs: How can data visualization support, but also mislead the communication? How are the United Nations communicate with visuals their data and finally, how is a national statistical office using and improving new approaches of data visualization to communicate with the data users?
