Objectives and sustainable development goals

A sustainable future

The UN is working toward a sustainable future by focusing on 17 global goals designed to protect the planet and improve quality of life. Becoming a Biosphere supports this mission by helping us advance not only environmental objectives but also social and economic ones. People, communities, and local enterprise sit at the heart of a biosphere, making it a powerful model for sustainable living.

Forest of Dean Biosphere Objectives 

Biospheres need clear objectives, and after extensive consultation with key stakeholders, the Forest of Dean Biosphere has co‑designed a set of objectives that help us fulfil the three core functions of a biosphere while also contributing to many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
