End of March 2021 the NDC-SDG Connections tool has been updated with all NDCs updated up to early 2020. Additionally, inconsistencies in the data presented on the SDG target pages have been rectified. The attribution of climate actions (in the outer circle) to SDG targets (in the inner circle) is now consistent and correct in all cases. In this context, the underlying data of the tool has been re-structured to allow for open data in the future.
