sdg.lca.earth ( earthstory.online ); A strategy for effective communication of the "story" for targets and indicators of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): An infinite project, based on finite or time-limited story fractions.

The purpose of this site is to map relationships of finite and infinite tasks within a global purpose. Not for a promise of accuracy; but as a tool for decision making in a infinite global world.
Inspiration offsets/foundations include; Earth as a home (Hard+Soft Data), Sustainable Development Goals (Global/Holistic Theory), Permaculture (Tangible base for a “Home”), Open Source Software and Hardware (Idea of free knowledge / sharing; {[one-to-many], [many-to-one], [many-to-many]} / Global-Return-Sharing economy).

It is possible for individual Humans (an Entity); to obtain a variable density of Holistic Sense of Planetary Complexity (EvdHSPC) 1, 2, 3, Bend Not Break

Consider the story elements on this site as individual “Report card” level in the Information density spectrum scale. See image below.
And external Web Links as sources for a higher Information density level.

Ecosystem report cards act as the ultimate synthesis tool for communicating vast amounts of information relevant to the general public and policy decision-makers. This pyramid shows where report cards fit within the spectrum of information density and information synthesis.
Example of a Summary Report:
The Role of Critical World Energy Outlook Special Report Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions (pdf)

First ever IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit to take place on 28 September 2023.
Example of a Primary and Supporting document:

How to use this website.

The SHORT VERSION:

Use this site as a perspective of a local story; by a specific human or limited group of humans.

It may be partially misleading, depending your own understanding of the semantics meaning or context logic, but could be an reasonable argument and logical from the authors perspective: Therein opens for a co-learning process to clarify the arguments context.

Background for this description: Video: The Culture Map, Book: The Culture Map.

The LESS-SHORT VERSION:

Introduction;

The goal;

This site aims to base the 17 Sustainable Development Goals communication through one of the oldest humans leaning strategies: Storytelling. See (Approximate) History of Storytelling and Worldbuilding as a design practice.

The problem;

The challenge of communicating an infinite and all-time changing description is a an practical impossible task.
As each human have a information learning limit, individual learning approaches and uneven access to knowledge, in combination with changing facts references and target .

Communication of infinite geological and times spatial context topics like “Eco-friendly”, “Sustainable” or the 17 Sustainable Development Goals; requires both description of past facts that are approximate, present facts that also is based on approximate assumptions and future reference point of intended goal/path.

To form an finite argument as “ Is my product sustainable?, or how relatively sustainable is it? ”; in a infinite geological and time spatial world-context though any argument model, will always output at least 1 approximate finite and 1 approximate infinite answer.

The finite answer could be; “Yes; my product is sustainable, as the product is an organic apple grown from a tree in my own backyard.”.

The infinite answer could be; “No; my product is not sustainable, if it is shipped across the globe; as the transport depends on pastime innovation of present transportation machines and communication technology for global trust exchange of value as Money or a Legal agreement etc.; considering the pastime energy usage for that innovation, and the present energy usage for transportation.” thereby adding embodied pollution expense in a geological and time spatial perspective to the apple.

The main argument for this Story Fragment:
Writing guideline;

1: Write your text mostly with "Semantic primes" like "People", "Because", "Good", "Many/Much"; rather than high-context words like "ECO-Friendly" or "Sustainable" because the public definition of high-context words is not directly translatable to all cultures. The definitions of high-context words are ever changing depending on timespan, geolocical position on our planet and percived differenly from the readers cultural background. Semantic primes: A resource base of publications using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach.

1.1: Argumentation based on SDGs to start the writing process could be a good idea: Example; I/We have concluded that our employees have doubt about our role in (county) when we order (type of product). I/We show our employees videos form that production, and the show the relevant money flow, to build trust, and to open a dialogue for improvement and participation. Then we look at SDG numbers (x and xx), it makes sense, that we do (this) to solve/support (problem/solution).

Writing guideline;

1: Write your text mostly with the currently "Semantic primes" like "People", "Because", "Good", "Many/Much"; rather than high-context words like "ECO-Friendly" or "Sustainable" because the public definition of high-context words is not directly translatable to all cultures. The English definitions is ever changing depending on timespan and geolocical position on our planet and percived differenly base on the readers cultural background. A resource base of publications using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach.

Writing guideline;

1: Write your highlights of relevant measurable facts. This could be an abstract description from a ready made Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) with an public digitally available document like a website or PDF document: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

2: Hard-data resource 1: EU Science Hub - science and knowledge for Europe

2.1: Hard-data resource 2: The world’s leading, high performance, open source Life Cycle Assessment software

2.2: Defining the quality of Hard Data versus "Hard Data" from a approximated or narrated calculation/model: Dr. Simon Michaux, Associate Professor at Geometallurgy at Geological Survey of Finland, discusses the minimum requirements for a net zero future, as well as the restraints on our renewables going forward.

4: Discribe your data in Scope 1, 2 + 3 clearly and seperetly: The complete guide to understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions

4.1: Use more precice data if availble. Else use aproximate data from publised data sets like "How Bad Are Bananas? - The carbon footprint of everything; ISBN: 9781788163811" or an app like: Idemat is a sustainability inspired materials selection app, empowering designers to create more sustainable products.

4.2: NO-DATA is also important! If you do not know the embedded carbon footprint or the embedded social impact of a component in your product; someone else may help you to clarify this. Example; A motor in a kitchen blender could be manufactured in a different country, than the country of assembly of the blender; what would be the a good approximate guess for those Hard-Datas?: Idemat is a sustainability inspired materials selection app, empowering designers to create more sustainable products.
