SDG Indicator Stories for Community Action Promotion

Abstract

In order to promote SDG activities in local communities, it is necessary to assess the impact on the sustainability of each community. It is also necessary to recognize the impact may have positive or negative effect to achieve SDGs. The indicators are essential for evaluation. However, activities to explain the relevance between indicators of local communities and SDGs have been insufficient. In this study, we proposed completely new concept "SDG Indicator Stories", a framework to explain the relevance between the indicators of local activities evaluation and SDGs with bottom-up approach. This framework was also utilized for goal setting in local activities and for construction of the indicator database tool for municipalities.
