Make Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient And Sustainable - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11

The UN explains: "The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation, and more."

The UN has defined 10 Targets and 15 Indicators for SDG 11. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Definition: Indicator 11.6.2 is the "annual mean levels of fine particulate matter (e.g. PM2.5 and PM10) in cities (population-weighted)".



This indicator measures the population-weighted exposure to ambient PM2.5 pollution; that is, concentrations of suspended particles measuring less than 2.5 microns in diameter.

Goal: "By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air pollution".

Target 11.7: Provide access to safe and inclusive green and public spaces
