Make nature's role visible to achieve the SDGs
Keyword(s):
Central to the premise of the Sustainable Development Goals is the concept that the environment underpins the economic and social dimensions of development, yet the language and structure of the SDG framework are largely blind to these environment-development relationships beyond the "nature" Goals (14 and 15). As a result, ecosystem health continues to decline, development milestones lag, and investments are suboptimally allocated. Here, we highlight and conceptually map nature's role across the entire framework and make suggestions for leveraging synergies and limiting undesired impacts.
