A statewide SDG dashboard showcasing county-level data and successful SDG initiatives from west central Minnesota. This dashboard is developed and maintained through a partnership between West Central Initiative (WCI), a Minnesota-based community foundation, and U-Spatial, a department of the University of Minnesota.
The dashboard includes 40 indicators and suggests that statewide progress is on-track or improving for all but two Goals (Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being; Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production).
Relatedly, in A Conversation on the Rural Midwest and the SDGs, Brooking Institution’s Center for Sustainable Development Senior Fellow Anthony F. Pipa shares a conversation in 2021 with Anna Wasescha, the President and CEO of WCI about how the Community Foundation uses the SDGs as a roadmap, or “connective tissue,” for local action.
