Subsets of indicators (3)Sustainable Development Goals (proposal)

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

Target 15.1

By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements

Proposed Indicator 1

: Coverage of protected areas broken down by ecosystem type, including total area of forests in protected areas (thousands of hectares)

Proposed Indicator 2

: Forest area as a percentage of total land area

Target 15.2

By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and increase afforestation and reforestation by [x] per cent globally

Proposed Indicator 1: Net forest emissions

Proposed Indicator 2: Forest cover under sustainable forest management Slide17
