A first application on water: https://www.water4allSDG.org
Thanks to the Water4allSDGs ® application, online since March 2022, free of charge, in English and French and not requiring knowledge of the 2030 Agenda, you can easily assess the progress made by the Water component of your action in achieving one or more SDG targets by ensuring that this component does not have negative impacts on other targets, even distant ones.
This application developed by the French Water Partnership, in conjunction with SDG CHAMPIONS France, is a breakthrough which notably helps to avoid “SDG-washing” and to respect the “systemic” nature of the 2030 Agenda.
With Water4allSDGs, a non-SDG specialist can:
Make visible the contributions to the SDG targets of a project or policy;
At least partially objectify these contributions ;
Highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the project with regard to the SDGs
Consider corrective measures for possible negative impacts
Compare the impacts of different project variants on a particular SDG target
Have a solid analysis in the form of a report that he can share.
The results appear in particular in the form of a bar chart allowing immediate visualization of the SDGs or SDG targets impacted by the project or policy.
A second application in preparation: Education4allSDGs
Building an education policy or project that contributes to sustainable development can be difficult because the reasoning is very often organized in thematic "silos" that do not integrate interdependencies and because the richness of the 2030 Agenda makes its content difficult to control.
The international application project Education4allSDGs will allow national and local decision-makers or any other education actor around the world to assess, free of charge, the positive or negative impacts of an education policy or project (teaching and learning but also governance, facilities and activities and partnerships with the community) with regard to the targets of the 17 SDGs, without needing to know the latter.
This project is developed with the support of UNESCO, the French Commission for UNESCO and the French Ministry of Ecological Transition.
This application will be online in early 2025.
Other applications to come: household waste, construction, mobility, agriculture...
