Request summary
The Global Set of Climate Change Statistics and Indicators was adopted at the 53rd session of the United Nations Statistical Commission in March 2022 as the framework for climate change statistics and indicators to be used by countries when preparing their own sets according to their individual concerns, priorities and resources. To put the Global Set to work, UNSD proposed a number of activities which are included in section V of the Report of the Secretary General to the 53rd Session of the Statistical Commission. Many countries expressed their support to the proposed activities via written and oral statements. More than 40 countries submitted such statements of which about half underlined that they need capacity development support from UNSD. This includes the need for training on applying the Global Set; the need for national missions; interest in receiving on-line support; and guidance for developing national surveys on climate change statistics. In addition, as specified in the Report of the Statistical Commission, the international statistical community is urged to expand its capacity development efforts with regard to climate change statistics by fostering closer collaboration and coordination among the multiple agencies involved in the process, and the donor community is urged to mobilize resources to enable capacity building in environment and climate change statistics in developing countries.
