An extensive set of indicators is presented in the form of maps, figures and infographics: these have been designed to highlight regional variations and similarities. The Eurostat regional yearbook gives you the opportunity to journey across our continent looking at a broad range of topics described in numbers. At its core, the publication distils numbers into comprehensible explanations and narratives. In doing so, it underscores evidence-based decision-making, empowering stakeholders – from local municipalities to international entities – to formulate informed strategies that foster inclusive growth, mitigate disparities and enhance the quality of life in the EU. In this year’s edition of the Eurostat regional yearbook, the indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are featured with a logo attached to those maps, figures or infographics that address the SDGs. As such, readers can assess regional as well as national and supranational developments for this important data collection.
