Following the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations in 2015, several countries, institutions, and people have been involved in the design of policies and implementation of practices relating to environmental, social, and human development. The structure of internal relationships that underlie official documents that detail the seventeen sustainable development goals can have a considerable influence on the prioritization of these policies. This study analyses the semantic network that exist between the goals proposed by the United Nations, comparing their English and Spanish versions. The results show some similarities between methods and languages in the most and least connected goals. The least connected goals appear to need greater attention as they are more independent and their targets are not connected to the other goals’ targets. The semantic network that has been analysed enables the visualization of the strength of the connections between goals within the official texts and can be a tool for ensuring a better understanding of these goals and creating policies that linked several of them with one another.

在联合国于2015年提出可持续发展目标之后，一些国家，机构和人民参与了环境，社会和人类发展相关政策的设计和实践的实施。详述十七项可持续发展目标的正式文件所依据的内部关系结构可能会对这些政策的优先次序产生重大影响。这项研究分析了联合国提出的目标之间存在的语义网络，并比较了它们的英语和西班牙语版本。结果表明，在联系最多和联系最少的目标中，方法和语言之间存在一些相似之处。关联性最低的目标似乎需要更多的关注，因为它们更加独立并且其目标与其他目标的目标没有关联。经过分析的语义网络可以使官方文本中目标之间的联系强度可视化，并且可以成为确保更好地理解这些目标并创建将多个目标相互关联的策略的工具。
