A new report from Springer Nature, in partnership with Overton, offers the most comprehensive picture yet of how academic research is influencing real-world policy tied to the SDGs. Published during COP30, the analysis is the first of its kind, drawing on more than 12 million policy documents. It finds that SDG policy documents seem to cite more research than non-SDG policy, signaling a connection between science and action on global challenges such as health, climate, and social development.

SDGenie (beta) is a new, prototype tool that explores how text, such as research abstracts, can be matched to specific targets set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGenie (beta) is free to use and offers researchers a new way to identify detailed targets – rather than goals alone – and, therefore, to make their work more relevant to the SDGs. There are 169 targets, which define actionable priorities. Together with indicators, they help to measure progress.

At Microbe 2025, a dedicated mini-symposium was held to discuss how microbiologists and microbes can further the SDGs. Expert panels held conversations about microbiology as a roadmap for progress, through the use of microbes to mitigate climate effects, generate renewable energy solutions, and advance the bioeconomy, and discussed the crucial role of education both as its own target and as a core part of achieving all of the goals.
