Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area. They will be expected to go extinct in the near future. The full title of Target 15.5 is: "Take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species. Under this plan, significant amounts of forestland under private concession are expected to be … SDG indicator 15.2.1 is composed of five sub-indicators that measure progress towards all dimensions of sustainable forest management. Humans depend on earth and the ocean to live. On behalf of the German Environment Agency . Second, an indicator is a report card, to measure progress Those are not yet reflected in the table below. As of 2020, there are  now 146 contracting parties to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and  56  countries have  provided information  about their access and benefit-sharing measures. The presentation introduces the Sustainable Development Goal on water and sanitation (SDG 6) and its eight targets, outlining how the different targets contribute to the overall ambition to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”, highlighting interlinkages with other goals and targets across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators. Integrated Monitoring of SDG 6 SDG 6 targets and global indicators. During the coming 15 years, 17 SDGs, linked to 169 targets, are to form an action plan to free humankind from poverty and return the planet to the path towards sustainability. [3], The full title of Target 15.2 is: "By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally. It also needs more indicators in areas such as forest intactness, management effectiveness of protected areas, and meaningful integration of biodiversity into other processes.[13]. Downloads.

By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. If the RLI value is 1.0, it means that species are categorized as 'Least Concern'. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators. The official indicator list below includes all updates until the 51st session Statistical Commission in March 2020. This will give a clear picture of the costs of achieving this goal. The first five targets (2.1–2.5), the focus of this study, are directly related to food security and agricultural sustainability. The forest area is defined by the land under natural or planted groups of trees of at least 5 meters in situ. Global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This indicator is under "Goal 15: Life on Land" of the SDGs and it refers to Target 15.3, which focuses on combatting desertification and restoring degraded land:By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world. [17] Forests present essential ecosystem services like timber, food, fuel as well as soil and water conservation and clean air. SDG indicators are the foundation of this new global framework for mutual accountability. Explore more SDSN publications on data, monitoring & accountability.

[3] The Red List Index is declining, from 0.82 in 1990 to 0.75 in 2015 to 0.73 in 2020.[3]. SDG 17 has 19 targets and 24 indicators. The Red List Index (RLI) shows trends in overall extinction risk for species and is used by governments to track their progress towards targets for reducing biodiversity loss. The three "means of achieving targets" include: Increase financial resources to conserve and sustainably use ecosystem and biodiversity; finance and incentivize sustainable forest management; combat global poaching and trafficking.

In FAO's 2020 report on the state of the world's forests, the degradation and loss of forests was mentioned as an underlying cause of the COVID-19 pandemic.
