Research on the Interrelationship of Sustainable Development Goals Based on Multilayer Network Modeling

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals are not just a call to action, but a vision of hope for a better world. To achieve sustainable development, it is critical to study relationship between SDGs and select the most effective priority goals. A multi-layer network approach was employed to establish a model for analyzing the interrelationships and impacts of SDGs.The ffnal model was derived by computing the Pearson correlation coefffcient matrix and network connections. The network models for 10 regions were visualized, revealing that in the WLD region, SDG8 had a positive impact on other SDGs, particularly on SDG4, while SDG17 had a negative impact on 14 SDGs.We have concluded that our model has strong robustness, high stability, and good interpretability. This provides scientiffc guidance and support for achieving the SDGs.
