Background Information
This section provides foundational resources that delve into the context, methodology, and academic contributions behind the research projects work.
Literature reviews
Comprehensive overviews of existing research, mapping the knowledge landscape and gaps regarding interactions between SDGs.
Literature Review of Relevant Frameworks
The Broker produced a literature review to provide insights into the current approaches to studying SDG interactions. The review discusses tools and approaches to systematically explore and better understand how synergies between SDGs can be realised.
Identifying empirically investigated SDG interactions
The Broker produced a literature review to provide insights into the current state of knowledge on interactions between the SDGs of focus of the three research projects. The review discusses the synergies and trade-offs among the SDGs of interest, empirically identified in existing academic literature.
Factsheets
