2 UNs SDGs Framework and Its Link with AI Challenges and Impacts

2.1 The When and Why of the UN SDGs

In 2015, the United Nations and all member states adopted the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. This 2030 agenda proposed objectives to design and implement a worldwide safe and sustainable future (United Nations 2015). At its foundation are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The adopted proposal recognises that the SDGs co-constitute and co-vary with one another. As a result, despite their numerical designations, they are not mutually exclusive of one another, rank-ordered or framed as trade-offs. For example, SDGs such as the ending of poverty (SDG #1) and climate change remediation (SDG #13) go hand in hand (Schwan 2019). Among ending poverty and climate change action, there are goals such as ‘affordable and clean energy’ (SDG #7), ‘industry, innovation and infrastructure’ (SDG #9) and ‘sustainable cities and communities’ (SDG #11) just to name a few (Fig. 1).
