Our new paper on #urban #sustainability argues that while cities are central to achieving #SustainableDevelopment, they struggle with incomplete or non-disaggregated data. #CitizenScience could support 70% of urban indicators, yet it’s used in only 4% of cases: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A study led by IIASA with @un-habitat.bsky.social shows that citizen science could contribute to 70% of global urban sustainability indicators, but it is used in only 4% of cases. Learn how citizen science could transform how cities track & achieve sustainability goals 👉 iiasa.ac.at/news/jan-202...

Is #CitizenScience the future of official statistics? New research by Fraisl et al. shows CS could support 60% of #SDG indicators usually captured by surveys. It’s time to move from "secondary source" to "essential tool" for global data. Read: www.crops-cs.eu @ecsa.ngo
