Multi-scale spatial deconstruction and evaluation of Sustainable Development Goals
Assessment and monitoring are an essential part of promoting the achievement of the sustainable development.Currently,theoretical research and localized program around the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)have been in full swing,but the relevant assessment and practice process is still lacking in the consideration of target constraints and hierarchical transmission.To this end,the study establishes a sustainable development assessment oriented towards the SDGs and concerned on the systematicity and openness,which can be deconstructed and applied in multiscale spatial units.The results show that,at the national and regional levels,the gap between SDGs and the current level in 2020 regarding to the dimensions of safe ecology,pleasant environment and green development is rapidly narrowing.On the contrary,there is still a large gap on the dimension of harmony society,though the index experiences a steady growth,which can be interpreted as the uneven income distribution and large urban-rural differences.It is crucial to identify the priorities of different regions and the synergies and trade-off between indicators in different scaled objectives to promote the implementation of the SDGs.The proposed assessment program supports the diagnosis of regional problems of sustainable development and the understanding of interrelationships between different regions and goals.It also facilitates the active participation of different levels and actors in the cause of sustainable development within an open framework,and helps to systematically assess and monitor the process of realizing SDGs.
