SDG-17 Partnerships for the goals

Main
SDG-17

Targets of this goal

By 2030, it is necessary to achieve the following targets:

Finance: Assist developing countries with debt sustainability and provide investment promotion systems
Technology: Implement a technology bank and support mechanisms for capacity building
Capacity: Increase international support towards capacity building in developing countries
Trade: Achieve durable, duty-free market access in least developed countries
Systemic Issues: Multi-stakeholder Partnerships - Enhance Global Partnership, Build Effective Public, Public-Private, and Civil Society Partnerships

We can currently advance towards the attainment of this goal:

Lessons Learnt

We have analyzed the literature and extracted the following ideas on how technologies are favouring this SDG.
See also what we propose and tell us what you think

L.1

Alliances where AI and technologies are the common thread to pursue the SDGs must be highly founded by ethical principles and multidisciplinary expert knowledge.

L.2

Implement codes of professional practice in organizational, professional and institutional environments under the sustainable use of AI and digital technologies

L.3

Need to promote global alliances for the widespread use of economically sustainable data collection mechanisms

L.4

Unite and intensify government efforts to bring AI and disruptive digital technologies to society as a whole

Recommendations

The proposed actions on which we introduce an opinion poll for this SDG, are described below:

Poll for SDG-17

The analyses of interrelationships between emerging technologies & AI, and the possibilities they offer to pursue the SDGs, led us to propose a series of actions and/or potential projects to develop.
Among these recommendations, which one is more important in your opinion?

Give my opinion

R17.1 - Alliances for AI and digital technologies based on ethical principles and multidisciplinary experts

R17.2 - Codes of professional practice in organizational and professional environments under the use of AI and digital technologies

R17.3 - Drive global alliances in the widespread use of economically sustainable data collection

Promote the installation -especially in developing countries- of the necessary infrastructures and means to facilitate the massive, effective, efficient and economically sustainable collection of data that helps to measure the scope of the SDGs as a whole: for example, infrastructure for sensory data networks that collect so-called ground observation data.

R17.4 - Carry out government efforts to bring AI and digital technologies to the whole of society

A last but not less important recommendation to consider is to call on government entities at all levels, from local to national and international, to create programs, frameworks or alliances aimed at bringing the use of AI and other digital technologies closer to society, with special emphasis on the potential role that these can play - if used properly - in achieving sustainable development. Specific actions to be implemented under this recommendation would range from open awareness-raising and training initiatives for the entire population, to adaptations of educational and labor systems, outreach activities and promotion of a greater presence of these technologies in the most common media, like television and radio. All this would help not only to reduce the existing digital divide, but also to eliminate psychological barriers.
