保護、維護及促進領地生態系統的永續使用，永續的管理森林，對抗沙漠化，終止 及逆轉土地劣化，並遏止生物多樣性的喪失

• 依國際協定保護陸淡水生態系統，及恢復洪水、乾旱區的惡化土壤；落實永續使用與管理，以終止毀林、沙漠化與對生態系的破壞。
• 鼓勵採取緊急措施應對生物多樣性喪失，包含減少自然棲地破壞、避免侵入型外來物種、終止盜採、盜獵與走私、保護瀕危物種，並確保建立使用基因資源的適當管道與公平分享應用成果的機制。
• 將生態系統與生物多樣性價值納入國家與地方規劃，動員大量資源投入上述生態永續跨國合作，並獎勵開發中國家改善永續管理、提升地方社區發展永續發展下的謀生能力。

SDG 15- Life On Land

Why we measure

This is the second of two SDGs that look at the broader ecosystem – the other being SDG 14: Life Below Water. Life on land is a precious resource – we need to ensure that it is passed on to future generations, at a time when loss of biodiversity is an increasing concern. Different universities will have responsibility for very different landscapes and the life within, but all have a responsibility as stewards of their environment.
We are exploring how universities contribute to sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss.
