ABOUT THE WORLD COUNCIL ON CITY DATA
www.dataforcities.org
The World Council on City Data (WCCD) was founded in 2014 and exists to help communities of all sizes across the globe to embrace standardized, independently verified, and globally comparable city data to become more sustainable, resilient, prosperous inclusive and smart. ISO 37120 – Sustainable Cities: Indicators for City Services and Quality of Life, the first international standard for city data, was published in 2014 and since that time, the WCCD has been working with over 100 cities across more than 40 countries to adopt this global first and achieve the WCCD ISO Certification. The WCCD is now operationalizing two additional standards: ISO 37122 Indicators for Smart Cities and ISO 37123 Indicators for Resilient Cities, across its rapidly growing network. The WCCD has led the development and certification protocol for what is now globally referred to as the “ISO 37120 Series” across these three global standards. The WCCD Certification protocol under the ISO 37120 Series provides cities with quantitative, globally comparable and independently verified local-level data enabling any city, of any size, to measure and compare its social, economic, and environmental progress internally year over year, and also in relation to other peer cities locally and globally. The dedicated work of the WCCD and this global network of data driven cities, together, are building a global framework for city data that allows cities to drive measurable progress for sustainable, resilient and smart futures.
ISO key performance indicators can be used to track progress toward the localization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs were established by the United Nations together with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
