Basic structure of SDG accounting
The below gives an a high level comprison of example of the
Example: GHG reduction through efficient cookstoves | Example: Recycling electronics | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Climate stability | Minimal environmental damage. Durability of resources | Environment without toxic materials. Fair and effective use of limited resources (e.g. metals). | |
2. SDG alligned to desired end state | SDG 13: combat climate change and its impacts | SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns | ||
3. Causal model related to the end state | "GHG emissions lead to climate change" | If dumped in landfills or incorrectly recycled, toxic materials from electronic devices are released into the environment. | ||
4. Target intermediate states and activities | Limit GHG emissions | |||
| 5. Activity and state metrics | Express GHG emissions in terms of the globalwarming potential global warming potential of 1 tonne of CO2 over 100 years | |||
6. Agent responsibility model and entity demarcation | ||||
7. Comparisons (counterfactual or real) | ||||
8. | Data transformations | |||
9. Data gathering |
