Benefits for Society from GEOSS Evolution Toward Addressing Sustainable Development Goals
on 20-22 June 2012 In Rio, Member States decided to launch a process to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will build upon the Millennium Development Goals and converge with the post 2015 development agenda.
A well-designed performance review system, such as a "Global sustainable Development Report" and comparable reporting mechanisms at the national level, and roles given to actors beyond national states will be essential, given the complexity of the agenda and the need for accountable implementation. For the review of SDGs, one new dimension needed is to include monitoring the key aspects of Earth system transformation .
