a Transitions among synergies, trade-offs and non-significant at the country scale. b Chord diagram of transitions between trade-offs and synergies at the country scale. c Shifts from SDG trade-offs to synergies at the provincial scale. d Shifts from SDG synergies to trade-offs at the provincial scale. In c and d, the colour represents the proportion of SDG indicator pairs that changed between synergy and trade-off relations at the provincial scale. The labels indicate the typical SDG pairs with the largest number of changes in each province from 2000 to 2020.
