SDG 13 (climate action) is poorly represented in our sample. At first, this result could be surprising as SDG 13 is the most relevant goal for tackling climate change. However, it is important to notice that the targets of SDG 13 are related mostly to country-level initiatives (e.g., ...
The objective of these targets is to grow profitably, and at the same time, contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are focusing here on issues that we as a company can influence – especially SDG 2 (Zero hunger), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 6 (Clea...
We establish an evaluation framework that shows clear differences in semantic ambitiousness levels between SDG targets. Awareness of these differences is essential, as semantic ambitiousness also lays the foundation for evaluating other types of ambitiousness of the SDGs in international cross-country ...
Through a systematic review of the literature, we consider the impacts of UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on forest ecosystems, and identify 63 targets associated with potentially beneficial, damaging or mixed (i.e. damaging and/or beneficial depending on context or location) impacts....
Meanwhile, emission intensity (CO2 emissions per unit of GDP) is considered one of the most widely used indicators for climate actions (SDG 13) (Xu et al., 2020). Yet it does not identify the net CO2 emission added each year. While China's emission intensity fell at a rate of over 3....

However, the development of the global indicators for SDG4, has resulted in metrics that miss many of the values of the targets, most notably with regard to quality and free education and substantive, not simply distributive, meanings of equality. The article analyses why some of these slip...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can affect insulin action, insulin secretion and β-cell expansion, and certain GPCRs have emerged as potential drug targets for the development of anti-diabetic therapeutics. Decreased insulin sensitivity is a major metabolic defect in the great majority of indiv...
With inadequately managed wastewater being a key driver of deterioration, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.3 was established to halve the proportion of untreated wastewater discharged to the environment by 2030. Yet, the impact of achieving SDG6.3 on global ambient water quality is unknown. ...
