联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）在特定地区的协同作用和权衡已得到广泛研究。然而，尽管世界日益相互联系，联合国的目标是到2030年在世界各地实现可持续发展目标，但人们对可持续发展目标的协同作用和跨越空间/行政边界的权衡却知之甚少。为了填补这一重要空白，我们引入了一个新的理论框架，并基于元耦合的概念，开发了一个应用该框架来实证评估可持续发展目标协同效应和边界内外权衡的一般程序。我们通过我们的框架，使用旅游和熊猫贷款的例子之间的全球重要的卧龙自然保护区的大熊猫保护和世界其他地区，以评估他们对六个可持续发展目标在卧龙和其他66个大熊猫保护区的影响。我们的分析揭示了总共17个协同效应和两个权衡，其中10个协同效应和一个权衡是内部的卧龙，而7个协同效应和一个权衡发生在保护区的边界。鉴于第一个关于跨境协同效应和权衡的经验证据，我们希望这项研究为进一步研究提供基础，以揭示全球范围内更多的可持续发展目标协同效应和权衡。这些发现对于加强可持续发展目标的协同作用和减少在各地实现可持续发展目标的跨境权衡至关重要。
Synergies and tradeoffs among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within specific locations have been widely studied. However, there is little understanding of SDG synergies and tradeoffs across spatial/administrative boundaries although the world is increasingly interconnected and the United Nations aims to achieve SDGs everywhere by 2030. To fill such an important gap, we introduce a new theoretical framework and develop a general procedure of applying the framework to empirically evaluate SDG synergies and tradeoffs within and across boundaries, based on the concept of metacoupling. We work through our framework using the examples of tourism and panda loans between the globally important Wolong Nature Reserve for panda conservation and the rest of the world to evaluate their effects on six SDGs in Wolong and the other 66 panda reserves. Our analyses uncover a total of 17 synergies and two tradeoffs, of which 10 synergies and one tradeoff are internal to Wolong, while seven synergies and one tradeoff occur across reserve boundaries. Given the first empirical evidence about cross-boundary synergies and tradeoffs, it is our hope that this study provides a foundation for further research to reveal more SDG synergies and tradeoffs across boundaries worldwide. The findings will be essential to enhance SDG synergies and reduce tradeoffs across boundaries for achieving SDGs everywhere.
