SDG 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

Abstract

This chapter illuminates the extent to which the targets of SDG 15, Life on Land, reflect the international obligations of, and guidance adopted under, the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity as an umbrella convention with overarching legal principles and concepts. In doing so, it demonstrates the extent to which international human rights law can support joined-up implementation of the convention and other international environmental agreements with a view to realizing SDG 15 through policy coherence, notably in the context of land-based investments. Keywords SDG 15, terrestrial biodiversity, land, sustainable use, conservation, human rights, investment, forest, desertification, wetlands, Indigenous peoples, international law
