The aim of the study is to support the development of an indicator for target 4.7 of the UN sustainable development goals (STG). The study provides a conceptual framework for measuring the competences from global citizenship education (GCE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) from a review of the literature and then an audit of the different aspects of these competences. The study establishes the extent that these competences can be measured using existing data. The results of this analysis show that most dimensions of GCE can to some extent be measured by the existing IEA ICCS 2009 and 2016 datasets and an outline of how this data can be used to develop an initial indicator or set of indicators for target 4.7 is given. However, in contrast, the study finds that existing data is much more limited on measuring ESD and the existing data does not provide enough coverage for indicator development at the moment. The study recommends that in order to provide a more comprehensive measure of both these competences it would be necessary to develop a new module on GCE and ESD. After considering the options, it is concluded that the most realistic option is for this module to be attached to the existing IEA ICCS survey. The study concludes that an indicator of all citizens across the whole world is probably unrealistic considering the challenges faced, but what could be achievable is an indicator covering some countries from each region from around the world. To make this a reality considerable political effort and search for funding would be required to engage new regions to the ICCS survey, for example, from Africa and the Middle East
