An Analysis of Nexus Structure of Sustainable Development Goals by Data-Driven Approach

Abstract

The nexus structures of the UN sustainable development goals were analyzed by data-driven approach, such as sparse modeling and network analysis technologies. As the results, Japanese society formed a nexus structure between SDGs global goals and targets, and the nexus structures inferred from Local SDGs indicator database and extracted from SDGs future city plans had different characteristics.
