## DESCRIPTION
The SDGs-IAE Framework is a questionnaire-accessed database of interlinkages between energy projects and the SDG’s targets, consisting of a maximum of 94 questions for energy project developers and decision-makers to answer for a given project. There is a potential for synergy with 94 targets and trade-off with 58 targets. However, because of the nested nature of many of the questions, most projects will not require all 94 questions to be answered and a smaller number of possible synergies and trade-offs will be identified in each context. By filling in the questionnaire with project-related information, users can find a longlist of possible ways a project can positively or negatively affect the local and global attainment of all SDGs. Based on academic and grey literature, the Framework is designed to be evidence-based and apolitical. It has a user-friendly interface and an accessible questionnaire for broad usability. Finally, it is intended to be used by all stakeholders in a project. The list of possible synergies and trade-offs generated by the completion of the questionnaire is a valuable tool for project stakeholders because it quickly highlights the wider sustainable development impacts of a given energy project in a way that is easy to digest for those unfamiliar with the SDGs. Further, the tool highlights the multi-sectoral impacts of energy projects and can work to break down siloed thinking.
