How do SDG-interlinkages manifest themselves in national contexts and translate into financing savings?
The SDGs were not born in isolation. Understanding the interactions across social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development is essential to bridge financing gaps, overcome financing inequalities and funding shortfalls. Uncovering how SDGs interact and manifest themselves at the national level is key to maximize fiscal space, enhance public spending efficiency and sequence financing decisions while optimizing SDG impact. SDG interlinkages, however, are not static; rather they are in a constant state of flux and change. These interactions vary across time and space, both within and across national economies. Their magnitude is influenced by financing decisions, budget execution, the state of development and governance conditions.
The interactive mapping below provides unique insights into how SDG synergies manifest themselves in Jordan's country-specific contexts. The mapping is the outcome of a machine learning neural networks developed by ESCWA that provides behavioural insights on SDG patterns and trends, aiding data-analysis and decision making.
The traffic light representation of SDG targets reflects country-specific contexts. Green lines signify proven synergies, while red lines represent trade offs. Greyed out targets may result from either a lack of country-specific data, although interlinkages may still be applicable, or imply the absence of validated global interactions in the context of Jordan.
