What we are looking for:

INTRO

• A short introduction on which UN goal you chose and why.

Goal 2030: Make cities and human settlement inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

Data: World Bank

Visualizations & Key Insights 

Example:

Figure 1: Sustainable Cities and Communities- Annual Mean Concentration of Particles in micrograms

• What are some key insights you derived from using SAP Analytics?
• Was there anything that was obvious? If so, what were they?
• Was there anything that surprised you? If so, what were they?

Implementation 

• Name at least one takeaway to improve the specific UN Sustainable Development Goal you had chosen in your introduction.
• How can SAP help better this goal?
• What type of SAP technologies can we implement?

Basic Example (please elaborate if needed):
