|
The manual extraction of relevant information from text documents is a \ |
|
time-consuming task for any policy analysts. As the amount and length of \ |
|
public policy documents in relation to sustainable development (such as \ |
|
National Development Plans and Nationally Determined Contributions) \ |
|
continuously increases, a major challenge for policy action tracking – the \ |
|
evaluation of stated goals and targets and their actual implementation on \ |
|
the ground – arises. Luckily, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural \ |
|
Language Processing (NLP) methods can help in shortening and easing this \ |
|
task for policy analysts. |
|
|
|
For this purpose, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions \ |
|
Network (SDSN) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale \ |
|
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH are collaborating since 2021 in the development \ |
|
of an AI-powered open-source web application that helps find and extract \ |
|
relevant information from public policy documents faster to facilitate \ |
|
evidence-based decision-making processes in sustainable development and beyond. |
|
|
|
The collaboration aims to determine the potential of NLP methods for \ |
|
tracking policy implementation and coherence in the context of the \ |
|
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement. \ |
|
Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) will serve as a starting \ |
|
point for the analysis and evaluation in a specific national context. \ |
|
Under the Paris Climate Agreement, NDCs embody the efforts of each \ |
|
country to reduce national emissions and thus contribute to the \ |
|
achievement of the long-term goals of the Agreement – to increase the \ |
|
ability to adapt to adverse impacts of climate change and foster \ |
|
climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a \ |
|
manner that does not threaten food production. The Paris Climate \ |
|
Agreement (Article 4, Paragraph 2)1 requires each Party to prepare, \ |
|
communicate and maintain successive NDCs. Thus, they serve as a \ |
|
comparable, accessible, and widely acknowledged starting point for \ |
|
analysis. However, the agreed and communicated goals and measures must \ |
|
also be reflected in national strategies, statements, and other \ |
|
government publications to be implemented timely, as well as effectively.\ |
|
At best, the activities and measures should have an allocated budget. \ |
|
Given the complexity, the manual evaluation of policy documents and \ |
|
other publications has been very time-consuming and has presented a \ |
|
significant challenge for policy analysts and makers alike. In \ |
|
consequence, the open-source web application aims to support the process\ |
|
through suitable AI-powered and NLP methods. In the following, the \ |
|
application’s functionalities are explained in more detail. |
