Dear Partners and Observers,

We are very pleased to circulate the final version of the Technical Paper kindly prepared by IINAS and IFEU for the Task Force on Sustainability on the Linkages between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy (GSI). The document is available on the website<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/fileadmin/user_upload/gbep/docs/Indicators/IINAS_IFEU__2018__Linkages_SDGs_and_GSIs_-_final.pdf>.

This Paper is the culmination of a study by IINAS and IFEU on the connection between the SDGs and the GSIs and the potential for this relation to beneficial for the measurement of the indicators under both frameworks. As concluded in the Paper, it is relevant to ensure that national implementing agencies for the SDGs are made aware of the GSIs, as there may be opportunities for sharing of data and/or methodologies, or jointly developing new data sources. We hope that this Paper will be useful for the purpose of disseminating information on the interlinkages between the GSIs and the SDGs at national level, and we encourage Partners and Observers to make it available to relevant actors in their countries and/or organizations. Furthermore, the results of this Paper will also be fed into the work of the TFS on the Implementation Guide.

Many thanks to the colleagues from IINAS and IFEU for their hard work in preparing this paper, which was made possible with funding from the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) through a contract with the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA).

Kind regards,

GBEP Secretariat
