Sustainable Development Goals 14 (Life Below Water) and 15 (Life on Land)
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for
sustainable development.
Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence. They cover 70 percent of our
planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. We must protect them by
eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and
protect all marine life around the world. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and
reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

SDG 15, "Life on Land," aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, manage forests sustainably, combat desertification, and halt and
reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss. It recognizes the vital role of healthy
ecosystems in providing essential resources and services for human well-being.

Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repair- Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and
Repair are also known as “the most important 5R’s” of waste management. The concept
of 5R’s is to decrease the amount of things we use and simultaneously also decrease the
amount of things we throw away. Since we have limited space on earth to dispose all the
waste, it is important to use the resources efficiently and create less waste. The 5Rs play
an important role in solving the problems which can arise out of wrong waste
management habits.
