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.
