The Swiss Federal Statistical Office has adopted a revised framework for assessing national progress towards sustainable development. In order to reflect the new national Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) 2016-19 and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Switzerland has revised its MONET sustainable development indicator system. The system is comprised of 73 indicators, of these 22 are new. 36 indicators are used to monitor progress towards the national SDS, whilst nearly all of them can be linked to one of the SDGs. The 73 indicators are classified into twelve categories such as “labour”, “natural resources”, “production and consumption”, or “social cohesion”. The two latter categories incorporate the most new indicators, with five additional indicators for both groups respectively.
