European Handbook for Sustainable Development Goals Voluntary Local Review - 2022 edition

The 2022 edition of the handbook provides policymakers, urban practitioners and experts a consolidated method and examples of indicators that European local and regional governments can use to monitor the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs) are processes that encompass both the monitoring and the analysis of the achievements with respect to the SDGs at a local level.
The new edition of the handbook builds on the first one published in 2020 and it includes an updated analysis of the VLRs published globally and in Europe. Their evolution over time and space in terms of use, and their main characteristics and building blocks were also updated.
The Handbook includes detailed and updated information on 72 indicators and related data sources, which can enable cities to measure their progress toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The set of indicators includes examples of both official and experimental indicators, coming from international and European institutions, but also regional and local governments and research institutes. 
The “population exposed to river flood” indicator is based on data from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL POP - 100m resolution) and the European flood inundation maps (derived from LISFLOOD -FP flood plain model). Data are available through the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) Risk Data Hub, a Geo portal developed by the JRC and provided at LAU level.
Finally, the Handbook provides new insights regarding local SDG monitoring, including references to new challenges and opportunities.
