The SDG Traffic Light Toolkit™
A simple way to turn one SDG Target into clear, achievable action.
Why It Matters
Once you have narrowed your options and identified your top five SDG Targets, the next step is choosing the one you can deliver. Large goals fail without focus, which is why the SDG Traffic Light Toolkit™ introduces the classification of Feasibility and Urgency and one Starter Action Idea you can activate.
This tool helps you sort your top five SDG Targets by what is realistically possible, based on your role, your capacity, and what is most urgent. Some targets can be delivered immediately. Others will need partners. A few require wider systemic change.
The aim is simple: match what you can do with what must be done.
How It Works (Feasibility x Urgency Matrix)
The SDG Traffic Light Toolkit™ maps all 169 SDG targets using two filters:
Feasibility: Who can deliver it?
Urgency: How soon must it be done?
Each target sits in one of 6 possible zones; colour-coded for clarity.
Once a target has been isolated, and you are ready to move forward, you can browse our library or subscribe to gain access to the Target Impact Snapshot e-book.
