Sustainable Development Goal 14 - Life below water

This dataset provides the indicators to measure OECD countries' efforts for Sustainable Development Goal 14 - Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.

The OECD dataset on the SDGs has been built using global UNSDG data and complementary OECD data, which allows the analysis to be tailored to the policy challenges faced by OECD countries. The methodology builds on data from the UN Global SDG Database and relevant OECD Databases such as Green Growth Indicators, OECD Environment Statistics, OECD Main Science and Technology Indicators, OECD Science, Technology and R&D Statistics, OECD Compendium of Productivity Indicators, amongst others. The OECD acts as the (co-)custodian of a number of indicators and directly supplies data to the UN Global Database in areas including ODA and other international flows, gender-based legal discrimination, access to civil justice and others.

Details on the construction of the database can be found in the methodology note.
