Critically analyse this case to evaluate why the technology is likely to have a significant impact and to identify risks and threats to achieving the stated SDG.

The target length is 2000 words.

Conduct an environmental scan to identify one example of a specific technology that has been applied to address one Sustainable Development Goal that is likely to have a significant impact on addressing the goal.

Consider how data arising from this example can be used to measure progress towards addressing that SDG.

Show how these data are linked to SDG targets and indicators. This may include SDGs aligned to national indicators that are specific to the context and priorities of your country or any other country demonstrating leadership in this area.

Critically analyse this case to evaluate why the technology is likely to have a significant impact and to identify risks and threats to achieving the stated SDG.

Develop new strategies that might be taken to monitor indicators and mitigate threats that may otherwise impede or hinder progress.

 

When selecting a technology for your case study, please choose specific applications rather than generic technologies like AI or IoT.

The focus should be on technology-based solutions that effectively address real-world challenges and contribute to sustainable development. By emphasising specific applications of technology, you can delve into the practical implementations and impacts of technology in solving particular problems rather than discussing AI or IoT in broad terms.

Consider exploring options such as recycling robots, clean water technologies, telemedicine and mobile health apps, smart agriculture, and similar specific applications of technology. These examples showcase how technology can be harnessed to tackle specific problems and create a positive impact on society and the environment.
