The role of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The SDGs are a theme that is cross-cutting among the
biodiversity-related conventions. This publication depicts the
interlinkages of each convention to SDGs and their targets,
as well as the relevance of different suggested SDG
indicators to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and their
respective indicators. This document also aims to provide
guidelines for enhancing support from the biodiversity_x005Frelated conventions to the SDGs and highlights the need for
synergies among the conventions in order to effectively
integrate principles of conservation, sustainable use and
benefit-sharing into development planning
