Introduction MineSDG provides tools to explore and retrieve official Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator data from the United Nations SDG API. The package includes: - Metadata exploration - Indicator validation - Country-level data retrieval - Optional data persistence - Session-level metadata caching ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 2. SDG Analytics Layer ## Listing SDG Indicators To view all indicators: ```{r eval=FALSE} head(list_sdg_indicators()) ``` To list indicators under a specific goal: ```{r eval=FALSE} list_sdg_indicators(goal = 15) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Validating Indicators ```{r eval=FALSE} validate_sdg_indicator("15.3.1") ``` Goal consistency validation: ```{r eval=FALSE} validate_sdg_indicator("15.3.1", goal = 15) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Fetching Data for a Single Indicator ```{r eval=FALSE} dt <- fetch_sdg_country_data( indicator = "15.3.1", country = "IND", year_range = c(2015, 2020) ) head(dt) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Fetching All Indicators Under a Goal ```{r eval=FALSE} dt_goal <- fetch_sdg_country_data( goal = 15, country = "IND", year_range = c(2015, 2020) ) head(dt_goal) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Saving Data ```{r eval=FALSE} fetch_sdg_country_data( indicator = "15.3.1", country = "IND", year_range = c(2015, 2020), save = TRUE ) ``` Files are saved under: ```{r eval=FALSE} ./data/sdg_downloads/ ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Advanced Analytics MineSDG 0.2.0 expands the package beyond data retrieval into a complete SDG analytics engine. The following analytical layers are now available: - Trend analysis - Stability and volatility diagnostics - Benchmark comparison - Convergence testing - Executive-ready narrative generation - Visualization utilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Trend Analysis ```{r eval=FALSE} trend <- analyze_sdg_trend(dt) trend ``` This function computes: - Absolute change - Percent change - CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) - Linear trend slope - Trend direction (Increasing / Decreasing / Stable) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Stability & Volatility Diagnostics ```{r eval=FALSE} stability <- compute_sdg_stability(dt) stability ``` Includes: - Standard deviation - Coefficient of variation - Volatility index - Stability classification These metrics are especially useful for ESG risk evaluation and operational performance diagnostics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Benchmarking Performance ```{r eval=FALSE} benchmark <- benchmark_sdg_performance(dt) benchmark ``` Outputs: - Deviation from benchmark - Percent gap - Z-score - Ranking - Performance category (Strong / Moderate / Weak) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Convergence Analysis ```{r eval=FALSE} convergence <- analyze_sdg_convergence(dt) convergence ``` This tests beta-convergence across countries, helping assess whether lagging countries are catching up in SDG performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Executive Summary Generation ```{r eval=FALSE} summary_text <- generate_sdg_executive_summary(trend, benchmark) cat(summary_text) ``` Produces narrative, board-ready interpretation suitable for: - ESG reports - Policy briefs - Academic summaries - Strategic reviews ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Visualization Layer MineSDG includes publication-ready visualization tools: ```{r eval=FALSE} plot_sdg_trend(dt) plot_sdg_benchmark(benchmark) plot_sdg_volatility(stability) plot_sdg_convergence(dt) ``` All plots use ggplot2 (optional dependency) and follow minimal, publication-ready styling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 3. Mining-Sector Interpretation Layer MineSDG now includes a sector-specific interpretation layer tailored for mining sustainability analytics. This enables translation of SDG indicators into mining-relevant sustainability domains, relevance scoring, and strategic narrative interpretation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Mapping SDG to Mining Domains ```{r eval=FALSE} map_sdg_to_mining_domain(indicator = "15.3.1") ``` Example output: - *Goal:* 15 - *Domain:* Biodiversity & Land - *Relevance Score:* 5 - *Narrative:* Land degradation, rehabilitation, and biodiversity restoration are core mining sustainability metrics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Domain Categories The following mining sustainability domains are currently defined: - Climate & Energy - Water & Resource Efficiency - Biodiversity & Land - Community & Social Impact - Governance & Institutions - Economic Development - Health & Safety - Education & Workforce This layer enables sector-aware ESG analytics beyond generic SDG evaluation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Mining Risk Engine ```{r eval=FALSE} dt <- fetch_sdg_country_data(indicator = "15.3.1", country = "IND") generate_mining_risk_profile(dt, indicator = "15.3.1") ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Mining Risk Profiling - Indicator-level risk scoring - Trend + volatility + benchmark integration - Domain relevance scoring Example: ```{r eval=FALSE} risk_profile <- generate_mining_risk_profile( data = dt, indicator = "15.3.1" ) risk_profile ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Composite Mining ESG Index ```{r eval=FALSE} index <- generate_mining_esg_index( data = dt_multi, indicators = c("6.4.1", "13.2.2", "15.3.1"), weighting_method = "domain_weighted" ) index ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Plot Mining ESG Index ```{r eval=FALSE} plot_mining_esg_index(index) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Summary MineSDG now supports a full analytical workflow: Data Retrieval → Trend Diagnostics → Stability Analysis → Benchmarking → Convergence Testing → Executive Reporting → Visualization This positions MineSDG as a research-grade SDG analytics framework suitable for: - ESG reporting - Policy evaluation - Academic research - Mining-sector sustainability assessment
