The Role of Green Official Development Assistance in the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 15 Using Explainable AI The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are global objectives adopted by countries worldwide to achieve sustainable development by 2030 and consist of 17 goals and 169 specific targets. Among them, SDG 15 (Life on Land) aims to conserve terrestrial ecosystems and promote their sustainable use. Successful implementation of SDG 15 requires continuous management of terrestrial ecosystems and positive forest transitions. However, systematic analyses examining the role of green official development assistance (ODA), which supports environmental improvement in developing countries, remain...

New research: green #ODA had the lowest measurable contribution to #SDG15 outcomes of any variable tested across 90 countries. But it showed significant positive effects where conservation capacity already exists. Accelerator, not catalyst.
