The Newcastle Agreement is shaped by our understanding of local need.
We have undertaken an analysis of our city using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), with a view to developing at set of local indicators against which we can measure progress.
This work will be developed over time in consultation with our communities and partners but has highlighted priority areas for us to initially focus on.
We are also developing a Policy and Evidence Hub which will bring our collective expertise and knowledge together to position Newcastle and the region as the UK exemplar for evidence-based policy making.
