要点可持续发展目标为更紧密地整合环境和贫困提供了机会。可持续发展目标要具有变革性，需要扩大措施和指标。指标应包括环境在福祉和贫困中的构成作用。需要鼓励当地分享导致行动的发展愿景。可持续发展目标应明确环境损失和贫困的权衡和驱动因素。自然环境和贫困之间的关系一直是可持续发展和发展文献中的中心主题。然而，它们在主流国际发展和保护政策中的影响力较小，这些政策往往忽视或未能充分处理这些关系。本文探讨了可持续发展目标(SDGs)如何影响环境-贫困关系的构建。我们认为，可持续发展目标的综合性可以为更好地整合环境-贫困提供机会。为了实现这一潜力，与可持续发展目标相关的活动将需要挑战体制现状；改变我们衡量、理解和实施发展的方式；设计反映当地发展愿景的干预措施；明确可持续发展目标之间的取舍；解决环境退化和贫困的最终驱动因素。
HighlightsThe SDGs offer opportunities for closer environment–poverty integration.To be transformative, the SDGs need a broadening of measures and indicators.Indicators should include constituent roles of environment in wellbeing and poverty.A need to encourage locally shared visions of development that lead to action.The SDGs should make trade-offs and drivers of environmental loss and poverty explicit.The relationships between the natural environment and poverty have been a central theme in the sustainability and development literatures. However, they have been less influential in mainstream international development and conservation policies, which often neglect or fail to adequately address these relationships. This paper examines how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may influence the framing of environment–poverty relationships. We argue that the SDGs’ comprehensive nature could provide an opportunity for better environment–poverty integration. To realise this potential, SDG-related activities will need to challenge the institutional status quo; transform how we measure, understand and implement development; design interventions that reflect local visions of development; make trade-offs between SDGs explicit; and address ultimate drivers of environmental degradation and poverty.
