Blitar Regency has a potential terrestrial ecosystem to improve community welfare. However, the government's low commitment to manage terrestrial ecosystem can cause environmental damage. For example, damage to the terrestrial ecosystem in Pandanarum Village due to deforestation has caused natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and air temperature rise. Not only in Pandanarum village, but also the surrounding villages were also affected by the disaster. This condition led to establish an environmental-loving community called Sahabat Menanam in year 2015. Sahabat Menanam is doing some efforts to overcome the terrestrial ecosystem damage in Pandanarum through community empowerment approach. This study aims to describe the efforts of Sahabat Menanam in empowering Pandanarum community, by using qualitative methods. Data was collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study shows that Sahabat Menanam has succeeded in empowering the Pandanarum community, which is demonstrated by an independent community through increasing knowledge and capacity to conserve terrestrial ecosystems. After the community becomes an independent society, efforts to conserve terrestrial ecosystems can be carried out in a sustainable manner by community elements themselves with or without intervention from Sahabat Menanam.

The Village

The limitations of the village in management in various sectors, both in the economic, health, education and infrastructure sectors make the village the main focus of the government in implementing development. Based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning villages, making villages have an important role in the implementation of development and empowerment. One of the implementations of the village law is by issuing village fund programs that are prioritized in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). To assist the government in accelerating the achievement of the SDGs, the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Regulations Number 19 of 2020 concerning Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Number 18 of 2019 concerning General Guidelines for Assisting Village Communities has been presented. Medan Estate Village is located in Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. Community empowerment can be carried out by local village assistants who assist in facilitating the achievement of SDGs data collection starting from socialization to inputting data on applications. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of local village facilitators in assisting empowerment activities in Medan Estate Village. This research method is descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the role of local village assistants in facilitating the village government runs according to its duties but in empowering the community it has not run optimally. The supporting factor in mentoring is the openness of the village government in establishing cooperation and the obstacle in mentoring is the lack of village community participation in village meetings.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development incorporates 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 15 (SDG 15) focuses on terrestrial ecosystems. Regarding forests, it sets targets requiring signatories to promote the implementation of the sustainable management of all types of forests by 2020 and further mobilize significant resources from all sources to achieve sustainable forest management. The United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2017 – 2030 advances the vision of SDG 15. Nigeria’s high demographic growth rate has led to the surging demand for land to support settlements and farming. Coupled with extensive illegal or uncontrolled logging, the annual forest net loss of 5% is one of the highest rates globally in percentage terms. This paper is a critical analysis of the policy-law interface of the forestry sector in Nigeria. It examines the country’s trajectory or state of preparedness for sustainable forest management, and it concludes that forestry policy and law in Nigeria must undergo urgent reforms so that the forest commitments such as those under SDG 15 and other regional and global instruments can be ultimately achieved.

Non-technical abstract The world agreed to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Nine planetary boundaries set an upper limit to Earth system impacts of human activity in the long run. Conventional efforts to achieve the 14 socio-economic goals will raise pressure on planetary boundaries, moving the world away from the three environmental SDGs. We have created a simple model, Earth3, to measure how much environmental damage follows from achievement of the 14 socio-economic goals, and we propose an index to track effects on people's wellbeing. Extraordinary efforts will be needed to achieve all SDGs within planetary boundaries.

Development Goals

One of the 17 frameworks for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program is about healthy life and encouraging prosperity for all ages. The Indonesian government, within the framework of SDGs targeting NMR, can decrease to 12 deaths per 1000 births. The existence of an incubator as a premature baby warmer device is essential. But such health facilities in the area are still lacking. The Grashof Portable Home Inkubator, one of the innovations from Universitas Indonesia, was lent free of charge as one of the product-based community engagement activities from 2012 to the present. It was lent freely to the mother's baby's home from the lower-class community. The network of volunteer agents is at the forefront of implementing this activity in many locations in Indonesia. The volunteer agents replace the primary cost production of the incubator so the problem of funds can be overcome. Socialization and collaboration with all levels of society, both individuals and institutions, is carried out so that more premature babies can be helped. From 2012 until now, this activity has helped more than 3000 babies carried out by volunteer agents who already exist in 22 provinces spread over 103 locations. This activity has increased to community empowerment, which directs or indirectly helps government programs in reducing infant mortality. Public awareness to help others, especially poor people, can make life's welfare betterABSTRAK:Salah satu dari 17 kerangka kerja program Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adalah tentang kehidupan yang sehat dan mendorong kesejahteraan bagi semua orang di segala usia. Pemerintah Indonesia dalam kerangka SDGs menargetkan angka kematian bayi / neonatal (AKB/AKN) turun menjadi 12 kematian per 1000 kelahiran. Keberadaan inkubator sebagai alat penghangat bayi prematur sangatlah penting. Namun fasilitas kesehatan seperti itu di daerah tersebut masih kurang. Inkubator Grashof Portabel yang merupakan salah satu produk inovasi dari Universitas Indonesia ini dipinjamkan secara cuma-cuma sebagai salah satu kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berbasis produk dari tahun 2012 hingga saat ini. Inkubator dipinjamkan secara gratis ke rumah orangtua bayi dari golongan pra-sejahtera. Jejaring relawan menjadi garda terdepan dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan ini di banyak lokasi di Indonesia. Agen relawan mengganti biaya pokok produksi inkubator sehingga masalah dana bisa teratasi. Sosialisasi dan kerjasama dengan seluruh lapisan masyarakat baik individu maupun institusi dilakukan agar lebih banyak bayi prematur yang dapat tertolong. Sejak tahun 2012 hingga saat ini kegiatan ini telah membantu lebih dari 3000 bayi yang dilaksanakan oleh agen relawan yang sudah ada di 22 provinsi yang tersebar di 103 lokasi. Kegiatan ini meningkat menjadi pemberdayaan masyarakat, yang secara langsung maupun tidak langsung membantu program pemerintah dalam menurunkan angka kematian bayi. Kesadaran masyarakat untuk membantu sesama, terutama masyarakat pra-sejahtera dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup lebih baik.

Development Goals

This paper considers how the Botswana government could use the experiences of implementing the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to localise their successor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country’s new development strategy Vision 2036. Despite the recentralisation of some elements of service delivery (water, education, and health) reversing the decentralisation trend, Botswana attained respectable successes in achieving MDG targets. The localisation of development goals must however go beyond simply establishing effective and efficient decentralised local government units, to implementing local economic development strategies that enable communities to take an active role in national development processes. The primary question that this discussion paper seeks to answer is: can Botswana utilise lessons learnt in implementing the MDGs to the SDGs, to foster an empowered local community? The paper highlights how community empowerment is particularly critical in Botswana; on the one hand given the current over-dependence of the economy on a limited number of extractive, finite mineral resources, and on the other because of the multi-dimensional character of poverty and high income inequality afflicting Botswanans. The call for greater decentralisation in Botswana’s Vision 2036 provides a good example for the Commonwealth as it goes beyond the SDGs’ target date of 2030.

Environmental Goals

One of the key challenges for climate policies is the identification of strategies that will effectively support the implementation of environmental goals. Environmental policies are connected with other development policies carried out by governments. In order to comprehensively shape environmental policy, it is important to understand the interactions between sustainable development goals (SDGs) as well as their impact on environmental goals. Employing econometric modeling based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) method and full-factorial analysis, the authors identify a number of statistically significant relationships between the implementation of sustainable development goals and the environmental variable represented by greenhouse gas emissions. Analysis reveals that implementation of particular sustainable development goals, namely SDG4 (Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities) and SDG17 (Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development), explicitly facilitate the achievement of environmental policies. In addition, other SDGs exert an indirect influence on environmental goals through their reinforcing interactions with SDG4 and SDG17 variables. These are: SDG1 (End poverty), SDG3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being), SDG8 (Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and productive employment) and SDG15 (Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests and halt biodiversity loss). These findings have important implications for proper identification of effective government policy instruments which indirectly support the achievement of environmental goals.
