SDGs and COVID-19

This challenge invites you to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by looking at the current and ongoing change in the monitoring indicators of the UN SDGs using Earth observation/remote sensing and global Earth system model-derived analysis products.

World Health Index

Summary

Throughout human history, there has been a considerable number of pandemics, such as Covid-19, which keep countries from reach UN's SDGs. We are MindMasters and our proposal is the World Health Index: a living map of each countries vulnerabilities to sanitary crisis as soon as they come up. It came to transform socioeconomic data into scientific information for each country, to base countries preparation at the first sign of a sanitary crisis and provide a fast, effective response to viral diseases and pandemics. That leads to economic impact and mortality reduction and increases international cooperation.

How We Addressed This Challenge

By allowing countries and other regions to understand how to prepare and where to act in order to face a pandemic or viral disease in the best way possible, we set the path to achive UN's SDGs. A well-prepared nation is capable of recover faster and move forward easier.

How We Developed This Project

We want to overcome this situation caused by COVID-19 and stand in a better positino than before. We thought that if we could warn countries and regions about those disasters, they would be capable of better prepare for that. So we used demographic, socioeconomic and flight (world annual number of flights) data to create a weighed model, built using Excel and Oracle Cloud, which would run based on this databse. The team had a bit of a hard time to gather all data but thrived over all difficulties and created a robust prototype.

Data & Resources

OMS (health and diseases data), OECD (demographic data), NASA's database (flights data), World Bank (monetary data).
