Two degrees and the SDGs: a network analysis of the interlinkages between transnational climate actions and the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract: Given the interconnectedness of climate change and sustainable development, policymakers and scholars have started to investigate how climate actions can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and vice versa. To date, research has mainly focused on the national and international levels, while little is known about the interlinkages between climate actions and the SDGs at the transnational level. Not only nation states, but also non-state actors undertake ambitious actions designed to… Show more

“…Within the SDG system, synergies and trade‐offs need to be disentangled to support decision‐making and prioritizing actions. Proving this support requires, for example, the identification of positive or negative multiplication effects within the system (Pham‐Truffert et al, 2020), of nonlinear SDG interactions that can trigger rapid progress with minimal investments (Warchold et al, 2021), or of entry points to support the SDG system, such as climate initiatives (Coenen et al, 2021). Consequently, SDG decision‐making should not just be normative but also evidence‐based to ensure efficient resource utilization.…”

“…In the context of our ranking exercise, it would be valuable to know the level of detail in which the participants are already familiar with the SDGs, especially with regard to SDG-specific targets and indicators. Moreover, ranking choices may be based on perceived dependencies, synergies and tradeoffs between SDGs, or may involve considerations of feasibility, for example (Ward et al 2016;Kumar et al 2018;Nerini et al 2017;Coenen et al 2021;Skene 2021). In addition, it would be of interest to explore to what extent the Sustainability Domains identified in the academic literature (e.g.…”

“…Targets 7.2 and 8.3 exhibited the highest weighted degree, indicating strong connections with other targets. This finding suggests that by focusing on these highly connected targets, policymakers and stakeholders can potentially address multiple challenges simultaneously, leading to synergistic outcomes [64].…”
