Terms in need of official definitions

Many terms used in the SDGs seem like they (should) reference one or more official definitions. This is a page to link to those.

Note that the "Target(s)" field is a place to note where a certain term was found. If you find another target using the term and the semantics are the same, simply add it to the corresponding cell. If the term's semantics are different from an existing instance, create a new row and note the target in question.
