Analysis on the linkage between indicators of K-SDG15 (Life on Land) and goals

The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), the legacy of Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) focus more on actions dealing with climate change. Consequently, an independent Goal15(Life on Land) was established and the significance of the forest has grown. To achieve SDGs with more specific goals, the Korea government developed Korean Sustainable Development Goals(K-SDGs) applying South Korea’s circumstances. However, according to Sustainable Development Report 2021, the performance index of Goal15 in Korea has a relatively ‘decreasing’ trend compared to other goals and is one of the major challenges for the country. Thus, to achieve SDGs effectively, this study has analyzed synergies and trade-offs between indicators of K-SDGs based on Goal15. First of all, we formed 128 linkages between the K-SDGs indicators from the literature review. Secondly, we conducted a survey on linkages between indicators of Goal15 and other Goals for 36 forest scientists. Results indicate that forests are intimately linked to environment conservation revealing strong illustrated strong trade-offs due to forest degradation and land use in process of urbanization. Analyzing the results, we suggested improvement measures such as expanding sustainable forest management and developing cities with city parks and green zones. This study expects to contribute to building strategies and developing policies to achieve SDGs by 2030.
