2017 Goal 6 assessment

Published: November 1, 2017

Key Messages

  • Since the adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, attention has been focused on establishing the frameworks for implementing and monitoring them. The indicators and sub-indicators for measuring progress against the targets on forest conservation and restoration were finalized in 2017.
  • The final indicators do not directly measure forest conservation (i.e. gross forest loss) or restoration, resulting in the ambitious forest conservation goal receiving little attention in practice.
  • Although a number of potential additional indicators were proposed in 2017, no new indicators for measuring forest conservation and restoration were included, confirming that the adopted indicators and sub-indicators are considered final.
