“…The focus here is on the importance of contextual factors and conditions that could influence the nature of the interaction between two SDG targets (Nilsson et al 2016 ). Below, we discuss, with examples from the different SDG areas, to what extent and how these key conditions have materialized in the empirical studies, drawn from Howden-Chapman et al ( 2017 ), Schmidt et al ( 2017 ), and McCollum et al ( 2017 ). We focus the discussion here on the governance context, the geographical context and the time horizon (identified in Nilsson et al ( 2016 ) as the most critical context variables).…”

“…On oceans , interactions between SDG targets are often dependent on policy design or governance regimes, and on the measures taken to achieve a specific target (Schmidt et al 2017 ). For example, the creation of marine protected areas (MPAs) as promoted under target 14.5, is generally seen as a powerful and effective instrument to protect, conserve and restore coastal and marine ecosystems, species and habitats, and to increase species richness and biodiversity (OECD 2017 ).…”

“…For example, the creation of marine protected areas (MPAs) as promoted under target 14.5, is generally seen as a powerful and effective instrument to protect, conserve and restore coastal and marine ecosystems, species and habitats, and to increase species richness and biodiversity (OECD 2017 ). Providing various co-benefits to fisheries and livelihoods of coastal communities (Agardy 2000 ; Bennett and Dearden 2014 ; Fisher and Christopher 2007 ), MPAs have a range of positive effects on other areas of sustainable development by enabling progress on poverty eradication (SDG 1) and food security (SDG 2) (Schmidt et al 2017 , p 178 and p 184 ff). However, the success and strength of these co-benefits of MPAs depend on how, and how well, the respective MPAs are managed, and on policy integration across sectors (Edgar et al 2014 ; Bennett and Dearden 2014 ; Spalding et al 2016 ).…”

Pursuing integrated research and decision-making to advance action on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) fundamentally depends on understanding interactions between the SDGs, both negative ones (“trade-offs”) and positive ones (“co-benefits”). This quest, triggered by the 2030 Agenda, has however pointed to a gap in current research and policy analysis regarding how to think systematically about interactions across the SDGs. This paper synthesizes experiences and insights from the application of a new conceptual framework for mapping and assessing SDG interactions using a defined typology and characterization approach. Drawing on results from a major international research study applied to the SDGs on health, energy and the ocean, it analyses how interactions depend on key factors such as geographical context, resource endowments, time horizon and governance. The paper discusses the future potential, barriers and opportunities for applying the approach in scientific research, in policy making and in bridging the two through a global SDG Interactions Knowledge Platform as a key mechanism for assembling, systematizing and aggregating knowledge on interactions.

The concept of “sustainability” has become the current answer to absolving the world of its environmental and economic crises in the 21st century. This paper analyses seven socioeconomic factors (age of household head, household average annual income, marital status of household head, gender of household head, household size, education level of household head, and period of residence of household head) influencing extreme degradation of seagrass and exploitation of mangrove resources in Zanzibar, Tanzania. To accomplish this, Participatory Rural Appraisal approaches and household questionnaire survey were used to obtain information on primary data. Multiple regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data while content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The findings revealed that all the socioeconomic variables tested were statistically significant (P<0.05) and had an influence on the exploitation of mangrove and degradation of seagrass except gender of the household (P=0.88) and household annual average income (P=0.655), respectively. In addition, statistical analysis revealed that there was significant difference in the mangrove status between the sites (p= 0.0001, χ2 =27.27) with more exploitation at Charawe compared to Kibele village, whereas no significant differences were revealed in the status of seagrass between the two sites (p= 0.2693, χ2 =1.2202). On one hand, the findings revealed that at Kibele and Charawe 60% and 50% practice gleaning, 40% and 55% are engaged in seaweed farming, and 60% and 70% collect bait from seagrass meadows, respectively. All these activities had direct influence on seagrass status. On the other hand, the finding revealed that livelihood needs, population growth, level of education, and lack of alternative source of income are the key drivers to exploitation of coastal natural resources especially mangrove and seagrasses. To ensure sustainable exploitation of coastal resources alternative livelihood activities such as farmed fish, small/petty business, and agriculture activities that are profitable and easy to manage should be introduced to the local coastal community to enhance active participation in conserving resources and improving their livelihood.
