Themes, LIF and SDGs

Themes cross-cut SDGs and action on a Theme has impact on different SDGs, which is in line with the Thematic approach of the
LSDGs being the goals at GP level. The LIF table connected to the NIF derived from SDGs shows hence the direct connect to
different SDGs within one Theme. This is also beautifully interwoven in the LIF, to make complete meaning of the Theme. The
repetition of a few indicators, due to its relevance in more than one Theme, also communicates this. In the SDGs Global Indicator
framework also, there are repeat indicators appearing in more than one SDG. The global indicator framework includes 231 unique
indicators, and the total number of indicators listed in the global indicator framework of SDG indicators is 248. Thirteen indicators
repeat under two or three different Goals, and within a Goal, under different targets.
