Consideration of culture is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

(One Earth 4, 307–319; February 19, 2021) In the originally published version of this article, the author footnote “Deceased November 18, 2019” was unfortunately assigned to the wrong author as a result of a typesetting error during the production process. It now appears correctly assigned to Arjen Y. Hoekstra online. The Journal deeply regrets this oversight as well as its unfortunate implications. Consideration of culture is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development GoalsZheng et al.One EarthFebruary 12, 2021In BriefThe role of culture in sustainable development has received increasing attention but remains undervalued. We bridge culture and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in both qualitative and quantitative manners and convert the vague understanding of culture-SDG links to concrete evidence. We show that culture is linked to the attainment of all 17 SDGs, represented by 79% of the SDG targets. Culture additionally explains as much as 26% of the variations in the achievement of SDGs.
