Project / This project will identify and characterise critical interactions between a selection of ‘environmental SDGs’ and all SDGs at target level and at EU level 2018 / About Sustainable Development Goals SEI report / A proof-of-concept study applying the SDG Synergies approach to explore how environmental targets interact with other SDGs at the EU level. 29 October 2019 / About Sustainable Development Goals SEI brief / Governments can use the new SDG Synergies approach to prioritize SDG targets and identify effective ways to achieve them. The 2030 Agenda includes 17 overarching Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

These are integrated in nature, and a principle of indivisibility should guide their implementation. Yet, the 2030 Agenda itself does not provide guidance on what indivisibility means in practice, how the SDGs interact, or on how to assess these interactions. The fast-emerging field of what could be referred to as SDG interaction studies seeks to provide such guidance, but as of yet there is no general agreement on what it means to take an... Hence, navigating the diverse research landscape on SDG interactions might prove challenging. This paper aims to decipher the literature on SDG interactions by providing an overview of the current research, based on a sample of 70 peer-reviewed articles. The review explores four themes in SDG interaction research by mapping: (i) policy challenges typically addressed, (ii) ways in which SDG ‘interactions’ have been conceptualized, (iii) data sources used, and (iv) methods of analysis...

Research gaps are identified, where perspectives largely missing include policy innovation, and integrated monitoring and evaluation. Further, few studies consider actor interactions, account for geographic spill-overs, analyze SDG indicator interactions, employ participatory methods, or take a whole-systems approach to the 2030 Agenda. Failing to address these gaps could lead to inefficient SDG implementation and delay goal attainment. Another contribution of the paper is a reading guide, proposing a way to decipher the literature along the themes emerging from the review, and offering a structure to code future papers. Embracing the SDGs means embracing common ground. To truly progress towards the Global Goals, it is crucial that we find common ground and engage all levels of society in sustainability transformations.
