The impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on a network of 276 international organizations
Abstract
The SDGs have failed to reduce fragmentation in global sustainability governance. We provide a novel network model to measure fragmentation using website data. We draw on 1.5 million hyperlinks connecting 276 international organizations. Silos are strengthening around the 17 issue areas of the SDGs. Siloization is stronger outside the UN system and among regional organizations.
