We use the term ‘city’ for all ‘local authorities with some level of urban sustainability ambitions’. We find these international spillovers from cities to be less acknowledged than SDG interactions within cities 13 and more difficult to capture than spillover from a city to other regions in the same country (as these are expected to be at least indirectly captured in national SDG progress reporting). We here define spillovers as impacts that: stem from actions by cities in their efforts to progress on the SDGs within their jurisdictions reach beyond national borders and affect the opportunities to advance the SDGs in ‘spillover-receiving’ places (as illustrated in Fig. Second, since most cities’ work to achieve the SDGs still lies ahead 12, there is an urgent need to increase our ability to predict and manage the spillovers of their future sustainability actions. While these plans are vital for meeting SDG13 (on climate action), assessing and managing the spillovers that their implementation may create should also be a priority (Box 1). The number of cities and municipalities with ambitious local decarbonization plans is increasing worldwide 11. First, cities’ actions are often atypical of their country contexts, and many decisions that influence global development are made at this sub-national level 10.

These knowledge gaps related to cities’ spillovers prompt urgent attention for two reasons. 8 providing a valuable exception comparing national SDG progress over time) 9. Furthermore, most studies focus on current and historic spillovers and interactions rather than impacts of future actions (with Kroll et al. Proposed methods for spillover accounting at national level, as part of national SDG performance indexing 4, highlight the importance of national-to-international interactions but do not address sub-national-to-international spillovers. However, these assessments do not systematically differentiate between local and international effects. Such spillovers have been found to be strategy-dependent: different strategies for meeting a given SDG target within a city may create different spillovers 5.Īvailable assessments of SDG interlinkages assert that different actions for advancing one SDG have different effects on other SDGs 6, 7, 8. However, the interconnectedness of the Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 in today’s globalized world implies that ambitious actions to advance on one SDG in one city create ‘spillovers’: cross-border impacts that can affect the advancement of the same or other SDGs elsewhere 3, 4.

For example, you can say, 'OK Google, let me talk to Domino's,' or, 'OK Google, talk to Good Code Tips' to launch one of the services. In many cases, as long as you know the name of the service, you can just ask Google to let you talk to it. Some examples of how to launch or interact with that Action will be shown at the bottom of the page. You can look up how to interact with a service by opening its page in the Services section of the Google Home app. To use any of the services available, you need to know the invocation for it.

To do this, open the Google Home app on your iOS or Android device and tap the hamburger button in the top left corner of the app. That said, some services, such as Uber or Todoist, do require you to link your account. It feels much more like vertical integration, like your Google Home is just getting smarter every day. Just say, 'OK Google, let me talk to Akinator,' and the game will begin. For instance, to play the Akinator game, you never have to enable anything on Google Home. On the other hand, with Google Home, most published Actions are available to use as soon as they're in the Services section of the Google Home app, no setup required. You must manually enable any skill you want to use with Alexa, which makes skills feel more like apps for your Alexa speaker. Many of these third-party services simply work out of the box, which is one of the major differences between Actions for Google Assistant and skills for Alexa.
