The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) has just launched its 2022 Survey of Research and Development (R&D) Statistics for the reference year 2021 to ensure the timely collection of data for the monitoring of SDG 9.5. The questionnaire and related materials are available on the UIS website at: http://uis.unesco.org/uis-questionnaires.
L'Institut de statistique de l'UNESCO (ISU) a lancé le 22 août 2022 la troisième enquête annuelle sur les dépenses consacrées au patrimoine culturel et naturel pour l'indicateur 11.4.1 des ODD.
The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) has released the second set of data for Indicator 11.4.1 related to culture for the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Agenda 2030. The updated country-level data is now available in the culture section of the UIS Bulk Data Download Service and contains information on around 50 countries. Data published on UIS Data Portal, however, are still from the June 2021 Data Release but this will be updated with the most recent data for SDG 11.4.1 in the coming weeks.
The fundamental importance of science, technology and innovation (STI) has never before been so apparent as during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Crucially also however, is the need to further harness the advances in STI to support the global recover from the pandemic, to tackle the tremendous socio-economic crisis triggered by it, and to fast-track progress towards sustainable development.
The new data are based on the UIS 2021 R&D Statistics Survey as well as statistics obtained from UIS partners, notably the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat) and the Ibero-American Network of Science and Technology Indicators (RICYT).

New education data refresh
In response to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the education systems, our efforts to produce statistics supporting policy development have intensified in the last year.
Education Data Release for SDG 4
The UIS has launched its 2022 Survey of Formal Education for the reference year ending in 2021 to ensure the timely collection of data for the monitoring of SDG4. The questionnaires and the related materials are available on the UIS website at: http://uis.unesco.org/uis-questionnaires.
The 2021 edition of the SDG 4 Data Digest, National SDG 4 Benchmarks: Fulfilling Our Neglected Commitment by the UIS and the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) presents the idea behind benchmark setting in education and the steps taken since 2017 to fulfil this commitment, including the selection of SDG 4 benchmark indicators.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions to education. Countries have been forced to find ways to adapt to these educational disruptions (such as school closures), by providing remote learning for students, adapting curriculum and assessments, and supporting the health and wellbeing of students, teachers and families.
La science, la technologie et l’innovation (STI) sont de plus en plus reconnues comme un élément fondamental pour la réalisation d’une croissance économique et durable. Relever certains des plus grands défis pour atteindre les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) pourrait dépendre en grande partie de l’exploitation des STI. L’importance d’investir davantage dans la recherche et le développement (R-D) n’a jamais été évidente avec les défis posés par la situation pandémique mondiale actuelle.
