국내 산림정책과 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)간의 연관성 분석

초록

This study analysed the linkage between national forest policy in Korea, namely the 5th National Forest Master Plan, 2016 Korea Forest Service Performance Management Plan, the 3rd National Sustainable Development Plan, and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 7 strategies of the 5th National Forest Master Plan were related to 11 Goals of SDGs, and 5 strategies of 2016 Korea Forest Service Performance Management Plan were associated with 7 areas of SDGs, and 4 strategies within 3rd National Sustainable Development Plan were linked to 7 Goals of SDGs. Among 87 national forest indicators compiled from three respective forest-related policies of Korea, 45 national indicators were related to 18 SDGs indicators. This indicates that 52% of national indicators of Korean forest policy are reflecting the language of SDGs. However, seeing from SDGs perspective, only 18 out of 241, which accounts for 7.8% of SDGs indicators are related to national indicators. The findings imply that a number of national forest-related indicators do not meet the diverse dimension of SDGs which provides potential areas for forest to contribute. Based on the findings, following recommendations were suggested: 1) the term used in forest policy should be aligned to SDGs targets so that it can be embedded in national policies, and 2) indicators should be further contextualized as well as in its assessment system. Lastly, it suggests for leveraging 3) ‘5 Processes of sub-national climate change adaptation plan’ and the core concept of REDD+ MRV which could provide fundamental background for implementing SDGs framework to national forest policy.
