The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of aspirational ideas that build on a set of tangible targets and indicators that provide the bedrock on which these ideas can be achieved. The SDGs cover a vast array of social and scientific topics; some as diverse as womens’ rights, cities, economics etc. all with the intent of providing a roadmap towards a more sustainable world in the future. A way of interpreting the goals and making tangible links between the different goals, targets and indicators is the “inter-linkages” model. The basic logic behind the interlinkages model is that each goal, target and indicator is directly linked to each other goal, target and indicator within a rating scale that of +3 (very positive link, actively contributing to the other) to -3 (a very negative, or actively negating the other). The suggestion is therefore that goals are intrinsically linked to each other, but not all are necessarily possible to co-exist to their fullest in the presence of all the others...
