Standardisation/Comparison - Means of implementation - investment/tech sharing/collaboration #12

Closed Caroline-A closed 1 year ago

Caroline-A commented 2 years ago

We should compare our strings for these aspects. In a lot of SDGs for a/b/c.

For SDG3 it is a much more specific formulation but can be compared.

Collection of relevant targets

1.a Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions.

2.a Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to enhance agricultural productive capacity in developing countries, in particular least developed countries.

7.a By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology

11.c Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials

13.a Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible

13.b Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities

14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries

15.a Mobilize and significantly increase financial resources from all sources to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and ecosystems

15.b Mobilize significant resources from all sources and at all levels to finance sustainable forest management and provide adequate incentives to developing countries to advance such management, including for conservation and reforestation

Perhaps we can broadly group these methods/actions into two themes: 1) Transfer of money - this covers "investing", "resources", and "financial assistance" 2) Technology assistance/sharing, collaboration - this covers "transfer of technology", "international cooperation", "development cooperation", and "technical assistance"

A couple don't fall under these themes: 1) increasing research capacity and scientific knowledge (14.b), and 2) operationalisation/ capitalisation of the green climate fund (13.a). SDG13 has some documentation about "capacity"

Caroline-A commented 2 years ago

After discussion meeting with the project group - decision: I will try and create a standard list of terms for each of these themes.

Each person can then check their relevant target against this list. We may not be able to use identical strings - these targets cover similar themes but are not as identical as e.g. "ensure access".

Update: Camilla from UiB who worked during her PhD with international collaboration on climate action has kindly agreed to give some input on these terms and interpretations (in particular for SDG13). I plan to wait with building strings/moving forward on these terms until we get feedback (likely end of May).

Working draft of possible terms

Money:

International aid/funding - example string: !Obs - be careful using the example string if your action terms also include "develop*"

"ODA" OR "cooperation fund$" OR "development spending"
OR (("international" OR "development" OR "foreign") NEAR/3 ("aid" OR "assistance" OR "fund$" OR "funding" OR "financing" OR "finance" OR "grant$" OR "investment$" OR "financial support" OR "financial resources"))

## As phrases (not all covered)
"official development assistance" // "development assistance" OR "ODA" 
"official development aid" // "development aid"
"international aid" OR "foreign aid" OR "foreign investment"
"development fund*" OR "development spending"
"cooperation fund$"

Investing or economic support

OBS! Here "economic + support" can cause noise by finding "support the economic development..." for ex. Consider writing out as a phrase.

"investing" OR "invest" OR "financing" OR "funding"
(("economic" OR "financial*" or "monetary") NEAR/3 ("support*" or "assist*")) 

"investment$" OR "fund$" OR "funding" OR "finance" OR "grant$"
"financial resources"

("government" OR "public") NEAR/3 ("expenditure" OR "invest*" OR "financ*" OR "spending")
"economic incentive$"
"subsidy" OR "subsidies" OR "subsidi?ing" OR "subsidi?e"
"government* subsid*" OR "economic subsid*"
"tax break$"

Also consider including specialised funds for your SDG, e.g. climate finance or the green climate fund for SDG13

International coop/transfer of tech

Given as a NEAR expression and phrases. Not all terms included in the NEAR combinations may work in all contexts, depends what they are combined with in the rest of the phrase - test with your SDG. !Obs - be careful using the example string if your action terms also include "develop*"

(("international" OR "development") 
NEAR/3 ("cooperat*" OR "co-operat*" OR "collaborat*" OR "network$" OR "partnership$")
)
OR
(("knowledge" OR "technolog*" OR "technical" OR "research" OR "scientific" OR "R&D") 
NEAR/3 ("transfer" OR "sharing" OR "shared" OR "share" OR "cooperat*" OR "co-operat*" OR "collaborat*" OR "partnership$")
)

# As phrases (not all covered)
    "international cooperation" 
    "international collaboration" 
    "international network$" 
    "international partnership$"
    "development cooperation" 
    "development network$"
    "development partnership$" 
    "technical knowledge transfer*"
    "transfer of technical knowledge"
    "transfer of technolog*"
    "technology transfer"

General that may be useful

Capacity terms - may look different for each SDG

"capacity" // "capacity building" OR "capacity development" OR "build* capacity"
"capabilit*"
"infrastructure$" OR "facilities" OR "tools"
"knowledge" OR "skills" OR "competenc*" OR "expertise" OR "know how"
"training"
"educat*" OR "awareness" OR "communication"

Research and technology terms

"technolog*" OR "technical" OR "biotech*"
"research" OR "R&D" OR "innovation"
"knowledge"
"science$"
