The document discusses proposals and reflections on developing indicators for sustainable development goals (SDGIs). It makes the following key points: 1. SDGIs should be grounded in common values, relevant science, and a conceptual framework rather than being data-driven. 2. SDGIs are needed to inform goal and target setting as well as ensure accountability. 3. Developing SDGIs through an independent yet coordinated parallel process can help ensure scientific credibility and timely input into the political SDG process. 4. SDGIs should follow a principles-based approach such as the BellagioSTAMP framework. 5. Developing SDGIs provides an opportunity to mainstream beyond-GDP

- 4. Key points SDGs should be grounded in common values, relevant science, and a conceptual framework and not be data driven Sustainable development goal indicators (SDGIs) and underlying data are needed for goal and target setting and strong SDG accountability Developing the SDGIs could be best done in a parallel, but arms length process from the political SDG process The development of the SDGIs should follow a principles-based approach The development of SDGIs represents a major opportunity for mainstreaming beyond-GDP thinking into policy 4
- 5. The identification of SDGs should not be data driven, but grounded in common values, relevant science, and a conceptual framework that represents key domains of sustainable development and interlinkages between the domains. 5

- 7. Sustainable development goal indicators (SDGIs) should inform goal and target setting and serve as an important element of the SDGs governance and accountability mechanism. 7
- 8. In order to ensure scientific credibility, objectivity, and timely access to relevant facts and evidence in the political SDG process, a parallel but arms-length institutional arrangement and process should be set up from the beginning for the development of the SDGIs. The political SDG and technical SDGI processes should work iteratively and in close coordination. 8
- 9. The development of the SDGIs should follow a principles-based approach, such as the Bellagio Sustainability Assessment and Measurement Principles or BellagioSTAMP developed in a multistakeholder process coordinated by the OECD and IISD. 9
