Environmental protection, involving the preservation and restoration of natural resources and ecosystems, is foundational to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It directly influences SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land), which all stress the urgent need to mitigate environmental degradation, conserve biodiversity, and foster sustainable use of our natural resources. Furthermore, environmental protection is intrinsically linked to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), as a healthy environment reduces risks from pollution and disease vectors. It also contributes to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by promoting clean water resources and renewable energy. Additionally, it is integral to achieving SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), emphasizing the need for sustainable consumption and production patterns that limit environmental harm.
