Sustainable Development Goals Impact Themes

Abstract

This Sustainable Development Goals Impact Themes codelist is based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and republished by Common Approach to Impact Measurement as an RDF codelist. The primary identifiers for goals are the official UN IRIs (e.g., https://metadata.un.org/sdg/1). Legacy IRIs (e.g., https://codelist.commonapproach.org/codeLists/SDGImpacts#SDG1) are retained for backward compatibility but are deprecated.
