Though the SDGs will aim largely to improve daily life for the very poor, a cool-headed economic assessment suggests that there are also smart biodiversity targets that should be considered. If world leaders take advantage of cost-benefit analysis to separate the wheat from the chaff, the next 15 years could be a boon for global development – including the preservation of biodiversity.
尽管SDG主要是为了改善贫穷人口的日常生活，但冷静的经济分析表明，生物多样性方面也不乏明智的目标应该予以考虑。如果世界领导人利用成本-收益分析去芜存菁，那么未来15年有望成为全球发展——包括生物多样性保护——的大繁荣时期。
