- Abstract
To analyse SDG synergies and trade-offs, Anderson et al. ([4]) created a systems model based on the results of a correlation analysis of SDG indicator data. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations on 25th September 2015 and are now mid-way to the target implementation deadline of 2030. The paper suggests that SDGs 1-3 (No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and Good Health and Well-being, respectively) are much more likely to be achieved than the environmentally related SDGs 13-15 (Climate Action, Life below Water, and Life on Land, respectively) and highlights the continuing tensions within the policy landscape between the human development and environmental preservation aspects of the SDG agenda. Freshwater ecosystems and endangered aquatic species are not explicitly addressed in the SDGs, but only nested as targets within SDG 6 and SDG 15, and there is a high risk that decisions to advance other SDGs may overlook impacts on them.
