- 1. Reaching halfway point for the SDGs: action and accountability 26 April 2022 Åsa Persson Independent Group of Scientists
- 2. Where were we in 2019? Effect on SDG progress since 2019? • Covid-19 pandemic • Changing inequalities • Conflict and war • Long-term climate neutrality targets • Technology and digitalization • Misinformation and trust
- 3. Hughes et al. 2021; IEA 2022 Global Energy Review Impacts of COVID on global progress towards SDG targets (% of countries reaching the target value by 2030) Global poverty headcount under different scenarios Impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic? Cumulative missing student-years globally, all education levels Impact on global energy CO2 emissions
- 4. Impact of inequality, as a goal and a means?
- 5. Moyer et al, 2019, Assessing the impact of the war in Yemen on achieving the SDGs Impact of war and conflict on achieving the SDGs?
- 6. In less than a year, long-term net zero climate targets have become the norm for countries, and many cities, regions and companies also set targets. Impact of long-term climate neutrality targets? • 116 regions have a target (16% of all regions in 25 highest emitting countries). • 234 cities have a target (20% of all cities with 500k+ population).

- 9. Untapped potential: Use of science-based tools in VNRs Allen et al. (2021) Priorities for science to support implementation of SDGs. Sust. Dev. 29(4). 1. Monitoring and evaluating progress on the SDGs 2. Assessing and managing interlinkages between the SDGs 3. Sustainability transformations needed to achieve the SDGs 4. Consistency between the SDGs and planetary boundaries
- 10. SDG Synergies tool – piloted by six Swedish cities Step 1. Contextualise • Selection of targets • Selection of actors Step 2. Assessment of interactions • A ”cross impact”-matrix • A guiding question • A scale of +/- interactions Step 3. Analysis • Cross impact-analysis • Network analysis
- 11. Example of outcome: The five goals that are most positively affected by progress overall Key insights • Process matters more than result • Sub-national governments and actors are typically more integrative • Localised, internalized SD targets matter

- Strategic decisions need to be carefully designed to determine the way cities and regions continue to respond to the pandemic around the world and how they plan to reconstruct and improve their communities. To inform these decisions and to help guide international organizations’ support, this baseline has uncovered the important challenges and opportunities for the local implementation of the SDGs that relate to the broader themes of advocacy, action, and monitoring. In addition, this effort builds on the New Urban Agenda, which functions as an accelerator of the SDGs, being emphatic about making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
