Alongside this, there are other areas that are likely to have high impact – for instance, content on major topics regarding humanity and its future, such as the [United Nations] Sustainable Development Goals.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the Wikimedia movement to address topics for impact in the recommendation, there are two big areas of work: addressing the most marginalized knowledge and addressing the knowledge that is important for the future of humanity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were top of mind when writing the Wikimedia Movement Strategy recommendations, they are also a useful place to test, examine and reflect on </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">how and why </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">we can use external knowledge frameworks to identify knowledge gaps.</span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What are the SDGS? </span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #202122; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img src="https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/english_SDG_17goals_poster_all_languages_with_UN_emblem_1.png" alt="Photo: The Sustainable Development Goals: 17 Goals to Transform Our World" /></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"><em>The Sustainable Development Goals or SDGS are a framework supported by the UN to help with focus and measure international development. Their wide reach means that it is a helpful framework for exploring certain topic areas.</em></p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The SDGs are 17 international goals, created by the Action 2030 framework adopted by the United Nations. Like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals" target="[object Object]">Millennium Development Goals</a> before them, they provide a powerful tool and framework for both measuring and prioritizing investments by the international development community. The SDGs aren’t perfect, but their focus on finding economic prosperity for all while protecting the planet and creating greater social equality, provides an ambitious framework for action across multiple kinds of actors. </p> <p>Because the SDGs are some of the best funded, globally-scoped priorities across society -- that also means that there are huge bodies of knowledge from international agencies, national governments and a variety of non-state actors. This diverse body of knowledge, means that in most geographic contexts: there is at least some research focused on, responding to and using the language or framework of analysis found in the Sustainable Development Goals. </p>"
