Title: Innovative methods of producing and communicating SDG data disaggregation in Poland.

Improving SDG data disaggregation is essential for making the global goals a reality in cities and regions, while ensuring that no one is left behind. So as to bridge SDG data gaps in particular with regard to territorial disaggregation, Statistics Poland has engaged in exploring innovative methods for producing and communicating SDG statistics for the local and regional level.

Thanks to the application of i.a. Earth Observation methods, Statistics Poland has succeeded in providing greater disaggregation for urban and rural areas as well as regions, which is crucial for better tailored and evidence-based policy formulation at all levels. To enhance communication and impact of these new disaggregations, Statistics Poland is developing a new product, which integrates various means of data presentation (maps, charts and analytical commentary) in an interactive and user-friendly way. The product contains data covering SDG 9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure and SDG 11. Sustainable cities and communities, and will be further expanded with other indicators and disaggregation categories from innovative sources.

Catering for the need for ready-made data analyses and accessible ways of data presentation, since 2020, Statistics Poland has issued digital reports "Poland on the way to SDGs" on an annual basis. The interactive reports provide data users with a detailed overview of selected issues connected to sustainable development, so far taking into account: inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable development and gender equality in Poland.
