Abstract

Life on land is vital for biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, and sustainable development, reinforcing the 15th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This study assesses the efficiency and productivity of G20 nations in advancing the 15th SDG within the circular economy (CE) framework from 2016 to 2019. We hypothesize that CE strategies enhance progress toward this SDG. Gross domestic product (GDP) and territorial surface were inputs, while total natural resource rents, protected land areas, aboveground biomass in forests, and the average proportion of key freshwater biodiversity areas covered by protected areas were outputs. Methodologically, we conducted an econometric validation of inputs and outputs, followed by efficiency assessment through data envelopment analysis (DEA) and productivity measurement via the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). Results showed varying performances among G20 nations. The United Kingdom, Italy, France, South Korea, and Germany were efficient among developed nations, while Turkey, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa led among emerging economies. These findings suggest G20 nations have potential for improvement by adopting environmental policies aligned with SDG guidelines and CE principles. However, results showed no significant productivity gains, aligning with efficiency trends that declined over time. Thus, all G20 nations must reassess their strategies to enhance efficiency and productivity, ensuring meaningful progress toward the 15th SDG.

推进第15项可持续发展目标:G20国家通过循环经济战略保护陆地生命的进展
陆地上的生命对于生物多样性保护、气候调节和可持续发展至关重要,有助于实现第15个可持续发展目标。本研究评估了2016年至2019年G20国家在循环经济(CE)框架下推进第15个可持续发展目标的效率和生产力。我们假设,可持续发展战略促进了这一可持续发展目标的进展。国内生产总值(GDP)和国土面积为输入,自然资源总租金、保护区土地面积、森林地上生物量和保护区覆盖的主要淡水生物多样性地区的平均比例为输出。在方法上,我们对投入和产出进行了计量经济学验证,随后通过数据包络分析(DEA)进行了效率评估,并通过马尔姆奎斯特生产率指数(MPI)进行了生产率测量。结果显示,G20国家的表现各不相同。在发达国家中,英国、意大利、法国、韩国和德国的效率最高,而在新兴经济体中,土耳其、印度尼西亚、巴西、阿根廷和南非的效率最高。这些发现表明,通过采取与可持续发展目标指导方针和环保原则相一致的环境政策,G20国家有改善的潜力。然而,结果显示,随着时间的推移,生产力没有显著提高,这与效率下降的趋势一致。因此,所有G20国家都必须重新评估其提高效率和生产力的战略,确保在实现第15个可持续发展目标方面取得有意义的进展。
