17 videos of 17 seconds on the 17 SDGs
As part of Road to Bern leading to the United Nations World Data Forum, the FSO offers you a series of 17 video teasers – each lasting 17 seconds – on the 17 sustainable development goals. Official statistics are crucial for measuring progress in all areas covered by 2030 Agenda. The staff at the Federal Statistical Office would like to draw your attention to these key figures.
Covid-19 pandemic
In times of a pandemic, official statistics assumes a key role as the basis for fact-based decision-making more than ever before. A special website therefore highlights the most important statistics in the current situation. In addition, the FSO has also published various experimental statistics over the past few months. These enhance the picture in the field of mortality monitoring with data at the level of the major regions and cantons and offer insights into the use of the SwissCovid App.
Specific methodological notices for the various death statistics at federal level can be found here. The document has been updated on 9 March 2021 with information on Covid-19.
