Experiments In Meme Tracking: Cataloging Stories According To UN SDGs

Continuing our meme tracking series, let's look at how LLMs can be used to catalog stories according to their relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

The results here demonstrate considerable promise, with reasonable results for each article. As before, guardrail false positives prevent output in several cases, while in other cases the intervention of soft and hard guardrails is seen in the inclusion of unrelated SDGs with generic statements of relevancy. Overall the results are quite good and demonstrate the ability of LLMs to be used to make hard classification decisions matching broad and vague definitions to the messy verbiage of global news coverage.

Let's look at this article on women's rights in Saudi again. We'll use the simple prompt "Which of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals relate to the following article. List each and explain your reasoning for including it." with a temperature of 0.0:

The article is about the debate on the niqab in Saudi Arabia. The debate is about whether women should be forced to wear the niqab or not. The article discusses the arguments for and against the niqab, and how the debate is playing out in Saudi society.

The article relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:

* **Goal 5: Gender equality and women's empowerment**

The article discusses the debate on whether women should be forced to wear the niqab or not. This is an issue of gender equality, as it is about whether women have the right to choose what they wear.

* **Goal 10: Reduced inequalities**

What about ChatGPT? It includes the same first three, but then goes beyond the boundaries of the article to include a generic reference to SDG 17.

Based on the provided article, several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be related to the discussions and debates surrounding the niqab in Saudi Arabia. Here are the relevant SDGs and the reasoning for their inclusion:

1. **SDG 5: Gender Equality**
This goal aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The article discusses debates around the niqab and women's rights to choose their clothing, which directly relates to gender equality. The discussions about whether women should have the right to choose whether to wear the niqab align with the goal of promoting women's agency and autonomy.

2. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequality**
This goal focuses on reducing inequalities within and among countries. The debate around the niqab reflects societal inequalities and differing perspectives within Saudi Arabia. The article mentions opposing camps: those who want to recall the enforcement of the niqab and those who support it. Addressing these differing viewpoints and seeking a middle ground can contribute to reduced inequality within the society.

3. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**
This goal emphasizes promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. The discussions about the niqab highlight differing perspectives on religious, social, and legal norms within Saudi Arabia. The article mentions accusations of foreign conspiracy and attempts to intimidate opponents. Promoting open dialogue, respecting diverse viewpoints, and ensuring that the justice system respects individual rights are crucial for achieving this goal.

4. **SDG 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal**
This goal underscores the importance of global partnerships for sustainable development. While the article focuses on domestic debates within Saudi Arabia, the discussions about women's rights and cultural norms can benefit from international perspectives and best practices. Collaborative efforts, both domestically and internationally, can contribute to finding solutions that respect individual choices and cultural contexts.

It's important to note that the interpretation of how these SDGs relate to the article may vary, and these connections are based on the information provided. The debates surrounding the niqab in Saudi Arabia touch on complex cultural, religious, and societal aspects, and addressing them requires a nuanced approach that respects individual freedoms while considering broader social dynamics.

What about a second article on the same topic? We'll start with a temperature of 0.0. This only mentions Goal 5:

The article is about the ban of the Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia. The ban is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The ban will help to ensure that women in Saudi Arabia have the same rights and opportunities as men, and that they are not discriminated against because of their gender.

Let's boost to a temperature of 0.2. Formatting-wise it doesn't break out the goals like it did before and instead buries them within the narrative, but cites Gender Equality and Quality Education (SDG 4).

The article is about the ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia. The ban is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of gender equality and women's empowerment.

The SDGs are a set of 17 goals that aim to improve the lives of people around the world. The goals are all interconnected, and they aim to create a more just and sustainable world.

Gender equality and women's empowerment is one of the SDGs. This goal aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. This includes ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as men, and that they are able to participate fully in society.

The ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia is a step towards achieving gender equality and women's empowerment. It sends a message that women are not required to wear these items of clothing, and that they are free to choose what they wear. This is an important step in ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as men.

The ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia is also in line with the SDG of quality education. This goal aims to ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality education. This includes ensuring that girls are not discriminated against in education, and that they are able to complete their education.

The ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia will help to ensure that girls have access to quality education. It will send a message that girls are not required to wear these items of clothing, and that they are free to choose what they wear. This will help to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for girls in education.

The ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia is a positive step towards achieving gender equality and women's empowerment, and quality education. It is an important step in creating a more just and sustainable world.

Let's try a second time. Here we get the bulleted list formatting again.

The article is about the ban of Hijab and Abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia. It discusses the history of the Abaya and how it is seen as a symbol of religious purity in Islam. The article also discusses the recent decision by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to abolish wearing an Abaya and Hijab for ex-pats and foreign tourists. However, it was tough for Saudi Women to accept the amendment. Even after passing the law, the moral police strictly enforced wearing it.

The article discusses the importance of gender equality and the right of women to choose what they wear. It also discusses the importance of education and the need for all children to have access to quality education.

The article relates to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

* **Goal 5: Gender equality and women's empowerment**
* **Goal 4: Quality education**

Let's alter our prompt a bit to request better formatting ("Which of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals relate to the following article. Make a bulleted list containing each related SDG and explain your reasoning for including it."):

The following are the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that relate to the article:

* **Gender equality and women's empowerment (SDG 5)**: The article discusses the ban on the hijab and abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia. This is a positive step towards gender equality, as it allows women to choose what they wear without being forced to wear religious clothing.

* **Quality education (SDG 4)**: The article also discusses the ETEC, which is responsible for planning, evacuation assessment, and accreditment of educational systems in Saudi Arabia. This is an important goal, as it ensures that all children have access to quality education regardless of their gender.

* **Reduced inequalities (SDG 10)**: The article discusses the different ways in which women are treated in Saudi Arabia and Iran. This is an important goal, as it aims to reduce inequalities between men and women around the world.

ChatGPT produces largely the same results as it did before and fails to reflect the education-centric focus of this article compared with the last one.

The following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relate to the provided article about the ban on the hijab and abaya for female students in Saudi Arabia. Here's the reasoning for including each goal:

1. **SDG 5: Gender Equality**
This goal seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The article discusses the ban on the hijab and abaya, which are traditional clothing items that have been compulsory for women in Saudi Arabia. The ban and subsequent debates highlight issues related to gender equality, women's rights, and their freedom to choose their clothing without being subjected to legal requirements.

2. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequality**
This goal focuses on reducing inequalities within and among countries. The article discusses the changes in clothing regulations for women in Saudi Arabia. The ban on the hijab and abaya for female students raises questions about societal norms, religious practices, and individual choices. Addressing these issues and ensuring that regulations promote equality and respect for diverse viewpoints can contribute to reduced inequality.

3. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**
This goal emphasizes promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. The article describes the debates and movements related to the ban on the hijab and abaya, and how they are impacting the lives of women in Saudi Arabia. Ensuring that decisions about clothing regulations are made through inclusive and participatory processes, and that the enforcement respects individual rights, is crucial for achieving this goal.

4. **SDG 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal**
This goal underscores the importance of global partnerships for sustainable development. While the article primarily focuses on actions within Saudi Arabia, the international community can play a role in advocating for women's rights and promoting discussions around cultural practices and individual freedoms. Collaboration and dialogue can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the issue.

It's important to recognize that the interpretation of how these SDGs relate to the article may vary, and these connections are based on the information provided. The banning of the hijab and abaya and the subsequent discussions highlight complex dynamics involving culture, religion, gender, and individual choice. Balancing these aspects while striving for gender equality and individual freedom requires careful consideration and open dialogue.

What about a Russia Today article about Taiwan? Again using the prompt "Which of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals relate to the following article. Make a bulleted list containing each related SDG and explain your reasoning for including it." and a temperature of 0.0:

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The SDGs are a global call to action to address the interconnected challenges facing the world today.

The article is about the visit of Taiwan's Vice President William Lai to the United States. The visit is seen as a provocation by China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan.

The SDGs are relevant to this article because they address the interconnected challenges facing the world today. The visit of Taiwan's Vice President William Lai to the United States is a complex issue that has implications for the relationship between China and Taiwan, as well as for the global economy and security. The SDGs provide a framework for understanding and addressing these challenges.

Unfortunately a temperature of 0.0, while typically recommended for classification tasks due to producing deterministic results, does not produce useable results here. What about a temperature of 0.2?

The article is about the visit of Taiwan's Vice President William Lai to the United States. The visit was condemned by China, which considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province. The article discusses the implications of the visit for relations between China and the United States.

ChatGPT's output is more akin to Bison's with the 0.0 temperature, covering a wide range of topics that are not related to the core contents of the article:

The article relates to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to the geopolitical, diplomatic, and international relations context. Here are the relevant SDGs and explanations for their inclusion:

1. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**
– This SDG focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. The article describes diplomatic tensions between China and Taiwan, reflecting the need for peaceful resolution of conflicts and stable international relations.

2. **SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals**
– SDG 17 emphasizes the importance of global partnerships and cooperation to achieve all the other SDGs. The article touches on diplomatic interactions between the United States, China, and Taiwan, highlighting the complexities of international relations and the need for collaborative efforts to address global challenges.

3. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequality**
– While not directly mentioned in the article, the diplomatic relations between various countries can have an impact on regional stability and inequality. A peaceful resolution of conflicts and equitable diplomatic relations can contribute to reducing inequalities among nations.

4. **SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being**
– The article doesn't focus on health, but stable international relations and cooperation are essential for addressing global health issues effectively. A stable geopolitical environment can facilitate the sharing of resources, expertise, and support to combat health crises.

5. **SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities**
– Although the article doesn't discuss urban development explicitly, international relations have implications for the stability and sustainability of cities and communities. Stable diplomatic relations can contribute to a safer and more stable global environment, which indirectly supports sustainable development in urban areas.

6. **SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth**
– While not the main focus, the article touches on economic relations between countries, including the potential impact on trade and economic growth. Stable international relations can create an environment conducive to economic growth and job creation.

7. **SDG 16.3: Rule of Law and Access to Justice**
– The article's emphasis on diplomatic interactions and potential conflicts underscores the importance of a well-functioning rule of law and access to justice at an international level. This is in line with SDG 16.3, which seeks to ensure equal access to justice for all.

It's important to note that while the article indirectly touches on these SDGs, they are not the primary focus of the article itself, which revolves around diplomatic tensions and international relations between China, the United States, and Taiwan.

What about this article from the The New Voice Of Ukraine and a temperature of 0.0?

Unfortunately, for all temperatures, Bison yields a guardrail false positive. We attempted to summarize the article first by using "Summarize the following article in one paragraph", hoping that a distillation request could still proceed and then perhaps pass the guardrail, but no luck.

ChatGPT produces output, but flags it as a violation as well and the resulting output is hallucinated generic content that appears to have been triggered by the guardrail rather than relating to the article itself:

The article you provided seems to involve issues related to hate speech, conflict, international relations, and potential violations of human rights. Based on the content of the article, the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are relevant:

1. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**
– This goal aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. The content of the article touches on issues of hate speech, conflict, and potential violations of international law. The actions and statements described could be seen as a challenge to the promotion of peace and justice and could raise concerns about the effectiveness of institutions involved in addressing such matters.

2. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities**
– This goal seeks to reduce inequalities within and among countries. The article discusses hate speech, discriminatory language, and potential threats made against individuals based on their nationality or ethnicity. Such language contributes to increased tensions and divisions, which are contrary to the goal of reducing inequalities.

3. **SDG 5: Gender Equality**
– Although not explicitly mentioned in the article, the mention of crimes such as gang rapes, rapes of minors, and murders raises concerns about gender-based violence and the potential violation of women's rights. SDG 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, which includes addressing issues of violence and discrimination.

4. **SDG 4: Quality Education**
– The article indirectly touches on the importance of education in fostering understanding and communication. The hate speech and inflammatory language mentioned highlight the need for education that promotes tolerance, empathy, and respectful dialogue to prevent the spread of divisive ideologies.

5. **SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being**
– The article contains references to violence and crimes, which can have implications for individuals' physical and mental health. This goal emphasizes the importance of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.

It's important to note that the interpretation of the relevance of specific SDGs can vary based on the context and perspective of the reader. The goals listed above are based on a broad analysis of the article's content and its potential implications for sustainable development.

What about an article on civil conflict involving migrants?

Unfortunately, once again Bison yields a guardrail false positive and refuses to produce output.

ChatGPT's output, on the other hand, is extremely reasonable:

The article touches upon several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to its focus on migration, human rights, economic challenges, and social tensions. Here are the related SDGs and the reasoning for including them:

1. **SDG 1: No Poverty**: The article discusses economic challenges, including food shortages, a tanking economy, and unemployment in Tunisia. These challenges contribute to public sentiment and potentially discriminatory attitudes towards undocumented African migrants.

2. **SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth**: The article highlights economic difficulties and unemployment in Tunisia. The presence of undocumented African migrants is mentioned as offering a lifeline for some locals who cater to them as customers for boat trips to Europe.

3. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequality**: The article touches on social tensions, discrimination, and negative sentiments towards undocumented African migrants in Sfax, Tunisia. These sentiments are rooted in concerns about jobs, resources, and living conditions.

4. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**: The article describes clashes, violence, and altercations between migrants and locals, leading to a tense situation in Sfax. It also discusses arrests and detentions. The instability and potential for violence indicate challenges related to peace and justice.

5. **SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals**: The article mentions European policymakers preparing to disburse aid to Tunisia. The negotiations and partnerships involved in providing aid and support are relevant to SDG 17.

It's important to note that while these SDGs are related to the themes in the article, the interpretation of their relevance may vary based on specific circumstances and local contexts. The article underscores the interconnected nature of the Sustainable Development Goals and how challenges in one area can impact progress in others.

What about this BBC article about the coup in Niger? With a temperature of 0.0 Bison produces. While SDG 16 is relevant, SDG's 1 and 17 appear to be a stretch at best:

* **SDG 16:** Peace, justice and strong institutions

The article discusses the coup in Niger and the subsequent detention of the former president, Mohamed Bazoum. The article highlights the concerns of the international community about the detention and the charges against Mr. Bazoum. The article also discusses the efforts of the Ecowas regional bloc to resolve the crisis.

* **SDG 17:** Partnerships for the goals

The article discusses the efforts of the Ecowas regional bloc to resolve the crisis in Niger. The article also discusses the efforts of the United Nations human rights chief and Human Rights Watch to address the concerns about the detention of Mr. Bazoum.

* **SDG 1:** No poverty

The article discusses the concerns about the conditions of detention of Mr. Bazoum and his family. The article also discusses the concerns about the impact of the coup on the economy of Niger.

Bosting temperature to 0.2 yields the same results with even more tenuous explainations:

* SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions

The article is about a coup in Niger, which is a violation of peace and justice. The article also mentions that the coup leaders have warned they will defend themselves against any intervention, which is a threat to peace.

* SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals

The article mentions that Ecowas has threatened military action to reverse the coup, but it has so far failed to follow through on its threat. This is an example of a partnership that is not working well.

* SDG 1: No poverty

The article mentions that Mr Bazoum is being held captive with his wife and son and there were growing concerns about their health. This is an example of how poverty can lead to poor health and other problems.

ChatGPT's explanations are even more questionable and reach beyond the article in several cases, such as Gender Equality due to the presence of his wife and Reduced Inequality because of his preexisting medical condition. The termination of electrical service triggering SDG 11 is questionable, but an interesting connection.

The article discusses the political situation and developments in Niger following a military coup that led to the deposition of President Mohamed Bazoum. The related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be identified as follows:

1. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions**
– The article primarily revolves around political turmoil, military intervention, and the legal actions taken against the deposed president, Mohamed Bazoum. This relates to Goal 16, which focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.

2. **SDG 5: Gender Equality**
– The article mentions that President Bazoum and his wife were held captive, along with their son. While it doesn't provide explicit details about the gender-related impact, considering Goal 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, it's relevant to include it. The well-being and rights of both men and women should be respected in political conflicts and detentions.

3. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequality**
– The article mentions concerns about the health conditions and well-being of President Bazoum's son, who reportedly has a chronic medical condition. This aligns with Goal 10, which focuses on reducing inequalities within and among countries. Ensuring equitable access to healthcare and well-being for all individuals, regardless of their circumstances, is an important aspect of this goal.

4. **SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being**
– The article discusses the health conditions of President Bazoum and his son, expressing concerns about their health and well-being due to the difficult conditions of their detention. Goal 3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. The well-being and health of detainees, including access to proper medical care, are relevant to this goal.

5. **SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities**
– The article briefly mentions the impact of sanctions on the junta, including cutting electricity to Niger, which resulted in blackouts in the capital Niamey and other major cities. This relates to Goal 11, which focuses on making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Access to basic services such as electricity is crucial for the well-being and development of communities.

6. **SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals**
– The article touches on the involvement of regional organizations like Ecowas and diplomatic interactions between various nations. Goal 17 emphasizes the importance of strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing global partnerships for sustainable development. The interactions and negotiations between different entities align with the spirit of this goal.

It's important to note that the direct relevance of certain SDGs to specific aspects of the article may be limited due to the nature of the content. The connections provided above are based on the available information and the broader context of the SDGs.

Running ChatGPT a second time repeats SDG at the start and bottom and yields slightly different results:

2. SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
– The article mentions the deteriorating health conditions of President Bazoum, his wife, and his son, who are reportedly being held captive with limited access to clean water, electricity, and medical care.

3. SDG 5: Gender Equality
– While not explicitly mentioned in the article, the conditions of detention and their impact on President Bazoum's family, including his wife and daughter, highlight potential gender-related implications.

4. SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
– The unequal treatment and harsh conditions faced by President Bazoum and his family in detention could be seen as a violation of the principle of reduced inequalities.

5. SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
– The article discusses the political crisis, the charges against President Bazoum, and the efforts by regional and international organizations to mediate and address the situation, which align with the goals of promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions.

It's important to note that the information provided in the article may not cover all aspects of the situation, and the interpretation of the SDGs' relevance is based on the available information.

* SDG 5: Gender equality
* SDG 10: Reduced inequalities
* SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions

The article discusses the casting of Rachel Zegler as Snow White, which has been met with some racist trolling. This relates to SDG 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

The article also discusses the lack of a love story in the new version of Snow White. This relates to SDG 10, which aims to reduce inequalities. The article argues that the lack of a love story in the new version of Snow White is a step forward in terms of gender equality, as it shows that women can be strong and independent without the need for a man.

Finally, the article discusses the change of the seven dwarves to seven "magical creatures". This relates to SDG 16, which aims to promote peaceful and just societies. The article argues that the change of the seven dwarves to seven "magical creatures" is a positive step, as it helps to break down stereotypes about people with disabilities.

With a temperature of 0.2 we get roughly the same results:

Finally, the article discusses the change of the seven dwarves to seven "magical creatures," which has been met with some criticism from the dwarfism community. This relates to SDG 16, which aims to promote peaceful and just societies.

What about ChatGPT? It invokes the same three SDGs but fleshes them out in more detail. Though, bullets 4 and 5 appear to be duplicates and highly overlapped with bullet 7. Overall there is more duplication here:

The article touches on several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a set of 17 global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all." Here are the SDGs that relate to the content of the article and the reasoning behind their inclusion:

1. **SDG 5: Gender Equality** – The article discusses the criticism and backlash faced by Rachel Zegler, the actress playing the new Snow White, due to her race and gender. This criticism is indicative of gender-based discrimination and the challenges women, particularly women of color, continue to face in various fields, including the entertainment industry.

2. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities** – The racism and trolling that Rachel Zegler faced due to her Latina heritage highlight the issue of racial inequalities and discrimination. This goal seeks to address various forms of inequalities, including those based on race and ethnicity.

3. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions** – The article mentions the backlash, debates, and controversies surrounding the new version of Snow White, including online abuse directed at the actresses. This reflects issues related to justice, freedom of expression, and peaceful societies, as well as the need for strong institutions to address online harassment and cyberbullying.

4. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities** – The debate over the portrayal of characters with dwarfism and the representation of diversity within the cast of the movie raises concerns about reducing inequalities and promoting inclusivity in media and entertainment.

5. **SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities** – The discussion about the representation of people with dwarfism in the entertainment industry touches on the importance of reducing inequalities by offering diverse and positive roles to individuals from marginalized groups.

6. **SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions** – The debate over the portrayal of the dwarves and the potential impact on individuals with dwarfism touches on the importance of media representation and avoiding harmful stereotypes, which aligns with the goal of promoting peaceful and inclusive societies.

8. **SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals** – The international community's response to the situation in Afghanistan and efforts to address the violations of human rights, particularly women's rights, require collaborative partnerships, making this goal relevant.

The article's focus on the suppression of women's rights and its broader implications touch upon various SDGs related to gender equality, education, justice, and inclusivity.

What about this article about Russia withdrawing from the Ukraine grain deal with a temperature of 0.0? It hallucinated about climate change:

The article is about the impact of Russia's suspension of the grain deal on global food security. The following SDGs are related to the article:

* SDG 1: No poverty
* SDG 2: Zero hunger
* SDG 10: Reduced inequalities
* SDG 13: Climate action
* SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals

The article discusses how Russia's suspension of the grain deal will have a negative impact on food security in poorer countries, especially those in Africa. This will lead to increased hunger and poverty, and could exacerbate existing inequalities. The article also discusses how Russia's actions are contributing to climate change, and how this will further harm food security. Finally, the article discusses how the international community needs to work together to address the challenges posed by Russia's suspension of the grain deal.

And 0.2? While SDG 17 is a more generic label by this point, the others are all highly relevant.

The article discusses the impact of Russia's suspension of the grain deal on global food security. This could have a significant impact on the following SDGs:

* **SDG 1: No poverty**. The disruption of grain exports could lead to higher food prices, which would make it more difficult for people in poverty to afford food.
* **SDG 2: Zero hunger**. The disruption of grain exports could lead to food shortages, which could cause hunger and malnutrition.
* **SDG 10: Reduced inequalities**. The disruption of grain exports could have a disproportionate impact on the poor, who are more likely to rely on food imports.
* **SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals**. The disruption of grain exports could undermine global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

And a second time at 0.2. Note that this time SDG 1 is missing.

The article discusses the impact of Russia's suspension of the grain deal on global food security. This has implications for the following SDGs:

* **SDG 2: Zero Hunger**. The suspension of the grain deal will lead to higher food prices, which will make it more difficult for people to afford food. This could have a devastating impact on people in developing countries, who are already struggling to feed themselves.
* **SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities**. The suspension of the grain deal will further increase inequalities between countries. Countries that are already food insecure will be hit hardest by the price increases.
* **SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals**. The suspension of the grain deal is a setback for global cooperation on food security. It will be more difficult for countries to work together to address the challenges of food insecurity.

And 0.99:

The following are the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to the article:

* **Goal 1:** End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
* **Goal 2:** Zero hunger.
* **Goal 10:** Reduce inequality within and among countries.
* **Goal 12:** Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
* **Goal 17:** Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

The article discusses how Russia's decision to suspend participation in the year-old U.N.-brokered deal that lets Ukraine export grain through the Black Sea will have a negative impact on food security around the world, especially in poorer countries. This is because Ukraine and Russia are some of the world's biggest exporters of grain and other foodstuffs, and any interruption to their exports could drive up food prices and make it difficult for people to afford food.

The article also discusses how Russia's suspension of participation in the grain deal is linked to its demands to implement a parallel agreement easing rules for its own food and fertilizer exports. This is an example of how Russia is using its leverage over the grain deal to try to weaken financial sanctions, which do not apply to Russia's agricultural exports.

The impact of Russia's decision to suspend participation in the grain deal is a reminder of the importance of the SDGs, particularly those related to food security and sustainable consumption and production. These goals are essential to ensuring that everyone, everywhere, has access to enough food to live a healthy and productive life.
