Abstract The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require the implementation of 167 targets aimed at eradicating poverty, protecting planet and improving quality life humankind. United Nations calls for uniform sustainable development global, local individual levels. This research pursues a twofold objective: first, to obtain evidence on extent which achievement may be across territories; second, identify socioeconomic characteristics that contribute development. empirical analysis has been carried out using clustering, cross efficiency contingency tables applied statistical information from 101 municipalities in Spain Italy. results provide inequalities between territories, revealing only dimensions People (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Prosperity 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) desired homogeneity attained. Notable differences are found degree compliance with other SDGs. Furthermore, it is shown associated geographical location substantially gap municipalities. In order ensure countries' development, there need environmental policies adapted specific features each region.

The interlinked character of the 2030 Agenda poses both a challenge and an opportunity in terms coherent policy making. Accordingly, different methods have been used approaching interactions between SDG entities (goals, targets, indicators, policies, external entities) several recent publications. In this paper, we provide review assessment for analysing entity interactions. Specifically, assess suitability these addressing coherence at levels from perspectives. A total 30 are categorised into argumentative, literature, linguistic, simulation, statistical, other quantitative examined with expert elicitation applying range criteria on basis following factors: ability to give detailed information about effects entities, practicability, sensitivity interdisciplinarity, collaboration systems thinking. No single method, category, or research tradition (i.e. qualitative) can be regarded as most suitable Quantitative quantitative) frequently applied scientific context, although results suggest that argumentative particularly useful obtaining while enabling interdisciplinarity collaboration. contrast, not process kinds information. However, regarding effort required, (except simulation methods) seem require fewer resources. Although evaluated best overall our assessment, implementation contexts importance assigned may justify application well.

Abstract The sustainable development goals (SDGs) offer a broad, holistic framework of interdependent economic, social, and environmental objectives to enable integrated collaborative approaches their implementation. A key obstacle for operationalizing such an approach is knowing the right actors engage on specific challenges. It acknowledged that linkages across sectors, scales, could provide evidence base assess forge participation in multistakeholder partnerships However, technical tools help identify relevant discussions institutional arrangements bring these board are notably lacking extant literature. To support evidence-based systematic coalition building accounts synergies trade-offs targets, this paper proposes broad-based lead can use harness SDG implementation: (1) define partnership’s scope, (2) main interlinkages, (3) assign responsibilities, (4) select best available indicators, (5) challenges, (6) partnership. After describing decisions at each step, article discusses applications proposed analytic partnership-building problems warrant global, regional, national levels covering issues as policy coordination line ministries, global SDG13 implementation SIDS, energy compacts SDG7 implementation, multilateral responses crises.

Abstract The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were an important precursor to the Sustainable (SDGs). Hence, identifying conditions that made MDGs successful enhances our understanding of global goal‐setting and informs endeavour achieve SDGs. Drawing on a comprehensive review 316 articles published between 2009 2018, we identify six factors have enabled or hindered MDG implementation. Our analysis stresses importance path dependencies shows catalysed changes only for those countries with sufficient resource availability, administrative capacity economic development, as well adequate support from external donors. National ownership NGO pressure bolstered efforts implement MDGs. These findings suggest globally agreed goals do not easily trickle down national level. Thus, this article adopts forward‐looking perspective draws key lessons current implementation SDGs in developing countries.

Abstract Understanding sustainable development goal (SDG) targets and their interlinkages is crucial for achieving national local SDGs since policies must be designed implemented at the target level rather than macro level. However, due to extensive nature, it remains challenging fully determine interlinkages. This study aims identify between SDG targets, employing a semantic network analysis with text‐mining Word2Vec machine‐learning methodology. The of entire reveals that each community closely connected comprises from multiple goals, while within same also belong different communities. findings indicate current framework 17 goals may not suitable basis developing policies.
