15.2: By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally

The indicator 15.2.1: Progress towards sustainable forest management for the Target 15.2, is composed of five sub-indicators that measure progress towards all dimensions of sustainable forest management. The environmental values of forests are covered by three sub-indicators focused on the extension of forest area, biomass within the forest area and protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources. Social and economic values of forests are reconciled with environmental values through sustainable management plans. The sub- indicator provides further qualification to the management of forest areas, by assessing areas which are independently verified for compliance with a set of national or international standards.

The sub-indicators are:

  1. Forest area annual net change rate

  2. Above-ground biomass stock in forest

  3. Proportion of forest area located within legally established protect areas

  4. Proportion of forest area under a long term forest management plan

  5. Forest area under an independently verified forest management certification scheme
