As pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) becomes central to our global mission, there is a growing imperative to understand, measure, and guide actions using data-driven insights. The SDGs encompass a broad spectrum of global challenges, from eradicating poverty and hunger to preserving the environment and fostering peace. To address these issues effectively, one should be able to measure and analyze progress. Data Driven Insights and Analytics for Measurable Sustainable Development Goals bridges the gap between qualitative and quantitative assessments, recognizing that the SDGs are not solely about numbers but also encompass complex social, environmental, and economic dynamics. By merging data science with qualitative analysis, readers can explore how the 5 Parts of SDGs intersect and influence each other, providing a holistic perspective on sustainable development. The book provides readers with an understanding of how to effectively leverage data science models and algorithms using descriptive analytics, allowing us to assess the current state of SDG performance, and thus offering valuable insights into where we stand on these critical goals. In addition, to make informed decisions and drive the SDGs forward, readers need more than just an understanding of the current situation. The book demonstrates the need for prescriptive analytics, a methodology that guides actions. Prescriptive analytics provides actionable recommendations based on data analysis, helping readers to identify specific interventions and policies that can accelerate progress. Furthermore, predictive analytics is vital in anticipating future trends and challenges. By showing how readers can forecast potential obstacles and opportunities, the book presents tools for taking proactive measures to navigate our path toward the SDGs effectively. By offering a data-driven approach, the book ensures that every action taken is based on sound analysis, making a tangible difference in building a better and safer world for all.
