An international report on SDG progress identifies a large south Asian nation as not on track to meet most SDGs. Specifically, the nation’s reduction of infant mortality and adoption of clean energy lag behind regional peers. In response, a government environmental minister creates a memorandum outlining steps the nation can take to advance the 2030 Agenda goals. The office distributes the memorandum to other government agencies.
How will the memorandum describe the 2030 Agenda goals?
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is designed so that the goals are interconnected and progress in one can support progress in others. For example, improvements in clean energy (Goal 7) can also positively impact health outcomes (Goal 3) by reducing pollution. Therefore, describing that a project intended to advance a specific goal can help advance another goal fits the nature of the SDG framework.
Answer C. Even if the targets are not necessarily quantitative, their specificity nonetheless is helpful in developing targeted metrics to better gauge progress.p. 37. C appears better, e.g. achieving SDG 1 (No poverity), 2 (No hunger) and 3 (Good Health and well-being) in tandem, just to mention the first 3.
