Target 15.6: Protect access to genetic resources and fair sharing of the benefits
UN definition: "Promote fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and promote appropriate access to such resources, as internationally agreed."
Benefits of sharing genetic resources - SDG Indicator 15.6.1
Definition: Indicator 15.6.1 is the "number of countries that have adopted legislative, administrative and policy frameworks to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits".
This indicator is measured through several sub-indicators that track countries’ participation in protocols concerned with the promotion and sharing of genetic resources for plants, food, and agriculture.
Goal: By 2030 "promote fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and promote appropriate access to such resources".
Target 15.7: Eliminate poaching and trafficking of protected species
UN definition: "Take urgent action to end poaching and trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna and address both demand and supply of illegal wildlife products."
Wildlife poaching and trafficking - SDG Indicator 15.7.1
Definition: Indicator 15.7.1 is the "proportion of traded wildlife that was poached or illicitly trafficked".
Goal: "Take urgent action to end poaching and trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna and address both demand and supply of illegal wildlife products".
Target 15.8: Prevent invasive alien species on land and in water ecosystems
UN definition: "By 2020, introduce measures to prevent the introduction and significantly reduce the impact of invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems and control or eradicate the priority species."
Prevent invasive alien species - SDG Indicator 15.8.1
Definition: Indicator 15.8.1 is the "proportion of countries adopting relevant national legislation and adequately resourcing the prevention or control of invasive alien species".
Goal: "Introduce measures to prevent the introduction and significantly reduce the impact of invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems and control or eradicate the priority species" by 2020.
Unlike most SDG targets which are set to be achieved by 2030, this indicator is to be achieved by 2020.
