Resumen

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations seek the transformation of society, in order to achieve sustainable development for all the inhabitants of the Earth. Cities are an important part of this effort, as they are the nucleus for the generation of plans and actions for the fulfillment of many of the SDGs. Including resilience in global plans can help cities succeed in spite of their particular complications. The advantages and disadvantages that artificial intelligence can bring to the SDGs, as well as the various results that have been achieved, are raised. Monitoring of the SDG Index and the Tier Classification for Global SDG Indicators are presented as reference tools for actions oriented towards the SDGs. Finally, progress on SDG compliance is described. The SDGs need coordinated efforts to record and measure the progress made. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
