Note
- This mapping is done using an NLP algorithm that approximates the semantic distance between indicators (indicator level mapping).
- The SDG indicators presented are the one potentially corresponding, in a direct or indirect way.
- Other mapping approaches can be powered with AI and NLP, depending on the purposes and the approach.
