SDG 15 on Terrestrial Ecosystems and Biodiversity: Contributions of International Law, Policy and Governance
Prof. Jorge Cabrera, Mr. Frédéric Perron-Welch, Dr. Balakrishna Pisupati
The Issue Brief provides a cursory survey of principal international law, policy and governance measures that have the potential to contribute to realizing SDG 15. It considers options for legal and policy preparedness, notes potential for mainstreaming and more integrated implementation at international and national levels, and offers some recommendations to deal with these issues. The analysis suggests that the SDG 15 targets are backed up by international environmental governance systems and legal measures, including multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) that need to be appropriately linked to discussions on the development of indicators related to targets and national implementation
