The Design of Environmental Priorities in the SDGs

Abstract: This article argues that the environment was extensively incorporated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with broad and ambitious targets, reflecting environmental concerns throughout the SDGs. Many environment‐related targets – including some of the most important ones – were placed under ‘non‐environmental’ goals. The SDGs also adopted the view that economic growth can be made environmentally sustainable using ‘decoupling’ and ‘resource efficiency’ as key technological solutions. Governments reje… Show more

“…The same is a truth for sustainable finance, according to IMF 2019 "Losses from climate-related risks affect the financial system directly, through price impairment, reduced collateral values, and underwriting losses, and indirectly, through lower economic growth and tighter financial conditions" (IMF, 2019). Based on the analysis of risks and challenges environmental damage is a crucial among negative externalities (Centemeri, 2009), it's also one of an effect of climate change (Kahn et al, 2019) and climate change is a major example of an integrated approach spanning a range of goals (Elder & Olsen, 2019). Finally we analysed availability and comparability of data set and data sources for period of time and countries.…”

“…Goal 15 “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”; also, Goals 6 (clean water), 14 (marine environment), and others). However, the targets underpinning the achievement of the goals captured in these agreements rarely articulate a desired, measurable outcome state–the amount of nature, where, and managed in what way, that is required for us to achieve particular biodiversity and sustainability objectives (Butchart et al 2016; Elder & Olsen 2019).…”
