CABI introduces SDGenie (beta) to help researchers stay on target

Wallingford, UK, 11 November 2025: CABI is pleased to introduce SDGenie (beta), a new, prototype tool that explores how text, such as research abstracts, can be matched to specific targets set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGenie (beta) is free to use and offers researchers a new way to identify detailed targets - rather than goals alone - and, therefore, to make their work more relevant to the SDGs. There are 169 targets, which define actionable priorities. Together with indicators, they help to measure progress towards achieving the SDGs by 2030.

According to the UN, “This year’s Sustainable Development Goals Report finds that only 35 per cent of SDG targets are on track or making moderate progress. Nearly half are moving too slowly and, alarmingly, 18 per cent are in reverse… This comprehensive assessment underscores the urgent need for intensified efforts to put the SDGs on course.” In publishing terms, that means increasing the impact of research.
