In our latest study, we show that too few #EU and #OECD countries have set aside silo thinking, enabled high-quality participation by experts and civil society, and developed an open culture of information-based policymaking: bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/o…

(1/4) Thought-provoking discussions at our SGI workshop of #EnergyTransition measurement! Two weeks ago, renowned international experts gathered to discuss an innovative approach.
(3/4) The study, which we are designing together with @RIFS_Potsdam, focuses on electricity, individual transport and building heating. It will consider dimensions such as technology, infrastructure, and institutions.
(1/3) On this #AccessToInfoDay, a look at our indicator on open government. Governments in only 8 #EU and #OECD countries publish data and information in a comprehensive, timely and user-friendly way, led by #Norway and the #UnitedKingdom. #IDUAI sgi-network.org/2022/Good_Go…
(2/3) On #Norway, our experts note that, in addition to providing lots of public data, many ministries help to interpret raw data and publish summaries to make the key aspects of the data more easily accessible for citizens.
(3/3) On the #UnitedKingdom, our experts report that the government publishes extensive transparency data, including senior public servants’ salaries, workforce data, special adviser pay and details of government meetings.
(1/3) Since our first SGI publication in 2009, the SGI project has published studies and policy briefs: sgi-network.org/2022/Publica…
(2/3) Our studies offer comprehensive examinations of central aspects and region-specific challenges related to sustainable governance. Moreover, we have investigated the state of #SocialJustice, #COVID19 crisis management and the implementation of the #SDGs.

(1/2) The SGI seeks to answer the critical question of whether a state and society are able to identify pressing problems, develop proposals for strategic solutions and thus foster sustainable policy outcomes through effective governance. sgi-network.org/2022/About
(1/3) Meaningfully refocusing policy priorities beyond GDP growth to, for example, environmental policies and government accountability, would be warranted. Among the 41 OECD and EU countries compared by the SGI, #Korea often demonstrates only mediocre performance.
Recently, the focus of national policies in #Korea has moved towards promoting happiness & improving people’s quality of life #BeyondGDP.

(2/3) Our country experts on #Korea note a lack of ambition when confronting environmental challenges, with policies largely insufficient to the scale of those challenges. Also measures appear to be ad hoc and are fragmented.
(3/3) In terms of government accountability, our experts observe particular weaknesses in the institutional structures and performance of supervisory bodies (e.g., audit and ombuds offices and data protection authorities) in #Korea.
The SGI relies on both quantitative data and qualitative assessments by country experts. These expert assessments undergo a six-stage peer review to ensure validity and reliability. Learn more about our methodology: sgi-network.org/2022/Methodo…
(1/3) #Canada, #Greece, #Italy and the #UnitedStates have been impacted by catastrophic #wildfires this summer; none of the four countries have been leaders on advancing global environmental protection regimes that could mitigate such #ClimateCrisis fueled catastrophes.
From Canada to Greece, through Italy and the United States, the frequency and intensity of this summer's #wildfires are yet another stark reminder that the #climatecrisis is here.
It is critical that we keep our #forests healthy and resilient.
