“…In sum, our analysis is of great significance, as it sheds new light on the comprehensive understanding of vulnerability contexts and disaster management capability. Moreover, it is noteworthy that SL encompasses the economic, social, and environmental aspects, which are also key hurdles to achieve the SDGs [60,61]. Among these, environmental systems are difficult to be separated, as they are usually interlinked [62].…”

Evaluation of Sustainable Livelihoods in the Context of Disaster Vulnerability: A Case Study of Shenzha County in Tibet, China

The issue of achieving sustainable livelihoods (SL) is a persistent problem that has gained significant interest for all countries. Even though contexts of vulnerability have been highlighted to be critical to SL, the difference of SL under vulnerability contexts, particularly disaster, has been ignored. As one disaster-prone area, there is an urgent need to conduct studies on SL in Shenzha, within the context of the construction of a national park. This paper proposes to address this research gap by evaluating SL under various disaster contexts in Shenzha, China. According to the frequency of natural disasters, towns in Shenzha can be divided into three groups: Snowstorm and windstorm-dominated towns (SWT), mixed towns (MT) and drought-dominated towns (DT). The results showed that (1) a great disparity of SL can be observed among the three vulnerability groups. The scores of these SL were sorted into descending order as: DT > SWT > MT. (2) In detail, herdsmen in DT have a high value of SL because they have high livelihood assets, livelihood strategies and disaster management capabilities. (3) Herdsmen in SWT have high livelihood assets, particularly human and financial assets, and livelihood strategies. (4) The low livelihood assets and livelihood strategies have restricted the SL of herdsmen in MT. An analysis of SL under various disaster contexts helped to depict the characteristics of SL. Accordingly, targeted policies were developed for the development of SL under various disaster contexts.

“…Quantitative analyses of interlinkages among SDGs Targets typically use indicator data on a set of Targets to understand statistical correlation, locally or globally (e.g. [16][17][18] ). Qualitative analyses (to which this Perspective contributes) typically use expert elicitations and surveys and look for published evidence of interlinkages among Targets.…”

“…Thus, indicators of outcomes in agricultural systems should not be assessed individually but rather systematically, considering interactions among indicators and their underlying causes. We suggest future research does so using a transparent and replicable method, as we have done here, ideally based on quantitative data for observed trends in the indicators (e.g., from Eurostat) rather than only on expert opinion (e.g., compare the quantitative and transparent method of Lusseau & Mancini, 2019, to the qualitative and subjective method of Nilsson et al, 2016).…”

Non-technical summary Agriculture provides many benefits to people, such as producing food and creating jobs in rural areas, but it can also have negative impacts on the environment. We analysed existing monitoring indicators for the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to evaluate whether the CAP is effectively achieving multiple social and environmental goals. We found that the current CAP monitoring system is unable to balance many potentially competing goals because its indicators are biased towards a few objectives. We suggest the European Union and its Member States adopt a broader set of indicators covering clear targets when the policy is reformed after 2020.
