Protect, restore and sustainably use terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse soil degradation, halt biodiversity loss

Goal 15: Life on land

The goal is divided into several sub-goals. The aim is to achieve comprehensive protection, restoration and sustainable use of ecosystems. Sub-goal 15.1 focuses on the conservation of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems, while 15.3 addresses desertification and soil quality protection and 15.4 mountain ecosystems. Sub-goal 15.2 makes sustainable management of all forest types, ending deforestation and rebuilding degraded forests and afforestation the goal. Sub-targets 15.5 to 15.8 aim primarily to address the loss of biodiversity, including through the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources (15.6), urgent action to combat poaching and trafficking of protected plant and animal species (15.7) or preventing the introduction of invasive alien species (15.8). Finally, ecosystem and biodiversity values should be integrated into decision-making processes (15.9).

The means of implementation is a significant increase in financial resources for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystems (15.a) and provides for substantial funding for sustainable forest management, combined with appropriate incentives for developing countries (15.b). In addition, the fight against poaching and trade in protected species is to be strengthened (15.c).

Goal 15: Life on land. Tree and birds on a light green background.
