UN SDG Indicator Normalizer
Search and retrieve official United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, returned as clean, analysis-ready records. The Actor resolves SDG series metadata, normalizes country names, preserves goal/target/indicator codes, standardizes units and dimensions, and deduplicates records.
Why use it?
Policy teams, NGOs, ESG analysts, researchers, development economists and AI data pipelines can query the UN SDG database without learning its API or cleaning inconsistent dimensions themselves.
