Abstract
The aim of this dissertation was to analyze the area surrounding how citizen science can contribute to Aruba’s SDG indicators. The answer found is multilayered, firstly citizen science projects conducted in SIDS are already mostly in a position to contribute in the aspect of type of data collected. Secondly, there are a variety of opportunities and challenges that citizen science projects may experience, both in relation to general challenges as well as island-specific and SDG specific challenges, these should be kept in mind. Lastly, best practices were suggested for collaboration with the corresponding office compiling the indicator, using internationally established methodology and forming a working group for the indicator that the citizen science project would like to contribute. Citizen science can contribute to Aruba’s (ecological) SDG indicators by aiding in data collection, forming working relationship with relevant stakeholders, creating awareness for sustainability while also contributing to non-SDG environmental indicators on Aruba.
