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.

Did you know that #CitizenScience could contribute to 70% of global sustainability indicators?

Currently it is used only in 4% of cases, learn hoow to change that 👇

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.

🤔 How do you explain what you do while working on #EUProjects without using technical terms? We challenged CROPS' partners to do it without using jargon.

In the third episode of our challenge we feature Arianna Liconti from OutBe, how did she go: youtu.be/yFd4UTaMp1Q
