The first criticism of the SDG framework is interlinkage and trade offs. SDG 4, 6 and 17 have been analysed as having the most synergies and SDG's 2, 8 and 11 as having trade offs with other goals. The former should be priorities over the latter.
Another criticism is that there are some SDG left behind due to the cherry picking of SDG by organisation. Acording to the sutainibility devlopment report 2024 SDG 2, 11, 14,15 and 16 are particularly off track.
This leads us to the conclusion that SDG's 4, 6, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 17 must be prioritised.
EA and SDG's have strong correlations due to they'r focus on global poverty and health. As seen above SDG 1 and 3 are not the SDG's that need to be prioritised. In this survey we see that the EA community is advocating for less funding on global health and devloppment and other cause areas and more on AI, X-risk and animal welfare. Therefore the goal of effective SDG is to find synergies between these causes and the SDG's wich need to be prioritised above.
​
Our first recommendation : proveg is based on the close affiliations this organisation has with effective altruism and the U.N. Furthermore, theyr goal of changing the food system shows strong synergies between the SDG's and is also linked to underfunded cause of EA : farmed animal welfare.
